The effects of polymorphisms in the genes encoding microsome triglycerides transfer protein (MTP) and beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) on lipid and glucose metabolism were investigated. Clinical phenotypes related to lipid and glucose metabolism were evaluated during dietary loading (17 g of fat...
