Atherogenic dyslipidemia is defined by increased levels of plasma triglycerides (TG > 150 mg/dL), small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) > 130 mg/dL, total cholesterol (TC) > 200 mg/dL, apolipoprotein B (apoB) and free fatty acids (FFAs) associated with low HDL cholesterol level (HDL-C < 40 mg/dL) and is a major component of metabolic syndrome (MetS) [1]. This evidence concerns the gene APOB and metabolic syndrome.
