A Dysregulation in <i>CES1, APOE</i> and Other Lipid Metabolism-Related Genes Is Associated to Cardiovascular Risk Factors Linked to Obesity

Different expression patterns in transcripts encoding for proteins involved in lipolysis and lipoprotein metabolism were found between lean and obese subjects. Moreover, the dysregulation of genes such as CES1 and APOE seems to be associated with some physiopathological markers of insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors in obesity.
