From: The -308 G/A polymorphism of the tumour necrosis factor-α gene modifies the association between saturated fat intake and serum total cholesterol levels in white South African women

Fig. 1

The relationship between dietary saturated fat intake, serum total cholesterol and TNFA -308 G/A genotype in normal-weight and obese women. The modelled relationship is for white women adequate reporters with mean age (30.6 years) and BMI (26.7 kg/m2). With increasing dietary saturated fat intake (%E), total cholesterol concentration decreases in those with the GG genotype and increases in those with the GA + AA genotype. The difference in rates of change is statistically significant (P = 0.047). Curves (because of the logs being modelled) will shift up or down according to age and BMI
