摘要
Objective To study the effects of Hind Ⅲ DNA polymorphism in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL)gene on plasma lipid levels, body mass index (BMI) and subcutaneous fat distribution in simple obesity children.Methods The LPL Hind Ⅲ genotypes were detected with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques in 92 children with simple obesity. The levels of the plasma lipid, plasma lipoproteins, BMI and skinfold thickness in three regions (biceps, subscapular and abdominal wall) were also measured. Results It was shown that the levels of TG, TC, LDL C, ApoB, BMI, biceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, and the average value of the skinfold thickness in three regions were significantly higher in the obese children with H+H+ genotype than those with H+H-genotype. Conclusions It can be concluded that LPL Hind Ⅲ polymorphism may modify the levels of plasma lipid, plasma lipoprotein and BMI in children with simple obesity, and meanwhile alters the distribution of subcutaneous fat.
