Aim: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with dyslipidemia such as hypertriglyceridemia and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is the transmembrane receptor that regulates selective intake of cholesterol esters by the liver and it binds to HDL with high affinity. This study was aimed to determine the effects of SR-BI gen variations upon proatherogenic and antiatherogenic lipid profiles in the patients with metabolic syndrome.
