A Set of Proximal Regulatory Elements Contribute to the Transcriptional Activity of the Human Lipoprotein Lipase Promoter.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a multifunctional protein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of plasma triglycerides, releasing free fatty acids, which play critical roles in the metabolism and transport of lipids. The transcription of in response to cell types and regulatory factors is a complex process that starts with its promoter. In previous studies, several proximal regulatory elements within the human promoter were individually characterized.

Receptor D299G/T399I Haplotype Polymorphism Is Associated with Insulin Resistance in Obese Female Subjects.

Background: Activation of Toll-like-receptor 4 () causes chronic inflammation that can result in obesity and metabolic syndrome (MeS).

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the role of polymorphisms of D299G/T399I, and its impact on protein expression of in obese female subjects.

Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional association study was performed on Arab female subjects from Qatar University.
