Association of Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) with Central Adiposity and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

Abstract

Serum TRAIL levels were weakly but significantly and independently associated with waist circumference, a marker of visceral adiposity, and with LDL-cholesterol. Further studies are needed to clarify the biological basis of these relationships.
