BACKGROUND: The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis vary
between ethnic groups. We examined the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism, its …

Background: Serum lipid concentrations are modulated by environmental factors such as
exercise, alcohol intake, smoking, obesity and dietary intake and genetic factors …

Apolipoprotein E polymorphisms are important determinants of blood lipid levels and have
been associated with longevity and atherosclerosis. However, information is limited on the …

Although common APOE genetic variation has a major influence on plasma LDL-
cholesterol, its role in affecting HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides is not well established …

To elucidate how the apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism and modifiable factors interact in
explaining plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels, we studied 1448 young adults (18 to 26 …

The effects of apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism on the distribution of serum levels of
total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotypes on lipoprotein
measurements relative to that of other known cardiovascular risk factors in participants of a …

The common apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene (APOE) ɛ2/ɛ3/ɛ4 polymorphism explains part
of serum lipid variation, and polymorphisms in the APOE promoter region have been …

The genetic variability of apolipoprotein E (apoE) influences plasma lipoprotein levels, and
allele frequencies differ between African Americans and Caucasians. As African Americans …

Elevated levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a well-established risk factor
for cardiovascular disease, and recent advancements have provided evidence that carotid …
