Polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein A5 and hepatic lipase genes and markers of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction

Cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of morbidity and mortality both in developed countries of the
world and in Croatia. One of the potential risk factors is postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Recent studies
suggest that postprandial hypertriglyceridemia may be associated with oxidative stress, systemic inflammation
