Complex metabolic disorders of apolipoproteins are present in T2DM, such as high plasma apoB, apoC‑II, apoC‑III and apoE concentrations, and low plasma apoA‑I and apoM concentrations, which are associated with dyslipidaemia and interrelated complications.
Four genes with a major role in HDL-C and TG metabolism APOA1, APOC2, APOC-III and LPL were sequenced in 2385 participants with mixed dyslipidemia in a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study comparing therapy with FA alone, in combination with statins, or statin alone.
