GSTT1 genotype modifies the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and the risk of myocardial infarction
(2007)
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 ...
Association of C677T and A1298C MTHFR Polymorphisms and Fluoropyrimidine-induced Toxicity in Mestizo Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
(2020)
Background/aim: Enzymatic variants involved in fluoropyrimidine metabolism have been associated with adverse events (AEs). We assessed the association between C677T (rs1801133) and A1298 (rs1801131) methylenetetrahydrofolate ...
Major cardiovascular risk factors in Latin America: a comparison with the United States. The Latin American consortium of studies in obesity (LASO)
(2013)
Limited knowledge on the prevalence and distribution of risk factors impairs the planning and implementation of cardiovascular prevention programs in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. For the last two decades ...

Individual saturated fatty acids and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
(2003)
Background: Epidemiological studies on the effect of individual saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on cardiovascular disease, especially in developing countries with different dietary patterns, are scarce. Objective: To determine ...
Effect of Apolipoprotein E genotype and saturated fat intake on plasma lipids and myocardial infarction in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(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 ...
Adipose tissue biomarkers of fatty acid intake
(2002)
The use of biomarkers to assess dietary intake has increased dramatically in the past few years (1-7). Biomarkers may provide a more accurate and objective measure of long-term intake than dietary questionnaires provide ...
Genetic variants of the lipoprotein lipase gene and myocardial infarction in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(2004)
To assess common variants of the LPL gene that could influence susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI), we assessed three functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), D9N, N291S, and S447X, in 1,321 survivors ...
