Comparison of biochemical profile by TAS1R2 genotype.
| Variable | TAS1R2 Genotype | p-Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ile/Ile N = 251 | Ile/Val N = 165 | Val/Val N = 25 | ||
| Glucose (mg/dL) | 93.8 ± 14.6 | 93.6 ± 13.2 | 97.1 ± 25.2 | 0.56 |
| TC (mg/dL) | 180.8 ± 46.8 | 184.9 ± 46.2 | 188.1 ± 86.1 | 0.61 |
| TG (mg/dL) | 149 ± 82 | 150 ± 75 | 194 ± 100 | 0.02 ** |
| HDL-c (mg/dL) | 40.4 ± 11.5 | 41.4 ± 12.6 | 43.2 ± 14.9 | 0.46 |
| LDL-c (mg/dL) | 110.1 ± 39.6 | 118.6 ± 38.6 | 105.1 ± 56.4 | 0.13 |
| VLDL-c (mg/dL) | 32.5 ± 23.8 | 32.6 ± 22.6 | 42.1 ± 22.1 | 0.26 |
Average values are expressed as mean ± SD. TC: Total Cholesterol; TG: Triglycerides; HDL-c: High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-c: Very Low Lipoprotein cholesterol. ** Val/Val genotype vs. Ile/Val and Ile/Ile genotypes.
