Previous studies have examined the association between the APOB insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism (rs17240441) and postprandial lipaemia in response to a single meal; however the findings have been inconsistent with studies often underpowered to detect genotype-lipaemia associations, focused mainly on men, or with limited postprandial characterisation of participants. In the present study, using a novel sequential test meal protocol which more closely mimics habitual eating patterns, we investigated the impact of APOB ins/del polymorphism on postprandial TAG, non-esterified fatty acids, glucose and insulin levels in healthy adults.<h4>Findings</h4>Healthy participants (n = 147) consumed a standard test breakfast (0 min; 49 g fat) and lunch (330 min; 29 g fat), with blood samples collected before (fasting) and on 11 subsequent occasions until 480 min after the test breakfast. The ins/ins homozygotes had higher fasting total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TAG, insulin and HOMA-IR and lower HDL-cholesterol than del/del homozygotes (P < 0.017). A higher area under the time response curve (AUC) was evident for the postprandial TAG (P < 0.001) and insulin (P = 0.032) responses in the ins/ins homozygotes relative to the del/del homozygotes, where the genotype explained 35% and 7% of the variation in the TAG and insulin AUCs, respectively.<h4>Conclusions</h4>In summary, our findings indicate that the APOB ins/del polymorphism is likely to be an important genetic determinant of the large inter-individual variability in the postprandial TAG and insulin responses to dietary fat intake."],"journal":["Nutrition & metabolism"],"pagination":["7"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4365815"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["The APOB insertion/deletion polymorphism (rs17240441) influences postprandial lipaemia in healthy adults."],"pmcid":["PMC4365815"],"pubmed_authors":["Lovegrove JA","Li Y","Minihane AM","Vimaleswaran KS","Williams CM","Gill R","Jackson KG"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"The APOB insertion/deletion polymorphism (rs17240441) influences postprandial lipaemia in healthy adults.","description":"<h4>Background</h4>Apolipoprotein (apo)B is the structural apoprotein of intestinally- and liver- derived lipoproteins and plays an important role in the transport of triacylglycerol (TAG) and cholesterol.
