| Popis: | Introduction: Obesity is a prevalent multifactorial disease whose main complication is dyslipidemia. Serum lipid levels also depend on genetic factors including the Taq1B variant of the CETP gene, which is suggested to be influenced by environmental factors and adiposity. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of the Taq1B CETP variant on serum lipid levels associated with anthropometrical variables. Methods: 165 women from Western Mexico were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Weight and body fat were measured by bioimpedance and waist circumference with a measuring tape. Serum lipid levels were determined by dry chemistry. The Taq1B CETP variant was analyzed by allelic discrimination. Results: Women with abdominal obesity and B1B2/B2B2 genotype had significantly higher total cholesterol levels (195.17 (185.95-204.39) vs 183 mg/dL (169.83-196.16), p = 0.007) and LDL (118.84 (110.65-127.03) vs 113.84 mg/dL (102.37-125.31), p = 0.037) than carriers of B1B1 genotype. Likewise, subjects with excessive adiposity and B1B2/B2B2 genotype showed significantly higher total cholesterol levels (195.05 (186.04-204.06) vs 182.40 mg/dL (169.03-195.76), p = 0.003) than those with B1B1 genotype. Discussion/Conclusion: Women with abdominal obesity or excessive adiposity, who are also carriers of the B1B2/B2B2 genotype have higher serum lipid levels than women with the B1B1 genotype. |
