Does genetic variation in the Δ6-desaturase promoter modify the association between α-linolenic acid and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome?
Truong, Hong; DiBello, Julia R.; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Kraft, Peter; Campos Núñez, Hannia; Baylin, Ana (2009)Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with protection against components of the metabolic syndrome, but the role of α-linolenic acid (ALA), the metabolic precursor of EPA and ... -
Effect of Apolipoprotein E genotype and saturated fat intake on plasma lipids and myocardial infarction in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
Yang, Yadong; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Kraft, Peter; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)We assessed the effect of APOE polymorphisms−491 A/T, C112R (APOE*4), and R158C (APOE*2) and saturated fat intake on plasma lipid levels and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in 1,927 case subjects and 1,927 population-based ... -
α-Linolenic acid, Δ6-desaturase gene polymorphism, and the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction
Baylin, Ana; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Kraft, Peter; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)Background:Δ6-Desaturase (FADS2) is the rate-limiting step in the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthetic pathway. Objective: The aim was to test whether the common deletion [T/-] in the promoter of FADS2 affects ...
