The relationship between variations in the apoAI-CIII-AIV gene cluster and plasma lipid traits
has been recognized for at least 15 years. Most studies have been focused upon the …

The Gullah people are one of our most distinctive cultural groups. Isolated off the South
Carolina-Georgia coast for nearly three centuries, the native black population of the Sea …

Apolipoprotein A-IV is a 46 kDa glycoprotein that is synthesized by intestinal enterocytes
and is incorporated into the surface of nascent chylomicrons. Considerable evidence …

Recently several but not all studies have implicated the codon 192 polymorphism in the
paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). These findings …

Genetic studies carried out mainly in European and European‐derived populations have
shown that common polymorphisms in genes coding for apolipoproteins are significant …

A common MspI polymorphism (GA) in the promoter region of the APOA1 gene (− 75 bp) has
been shown to be associated with plasma apo AI and HDL-C variation in several, but not all …

Abstract 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17HSD) is one of the key enzymes in
estrogen metabolism, catalyzing the reversible reaction between estradiol and the less …

Lipid response to dietary fat and cholesterol is, to a large extent, genetically controlled.
Apoprotein (apo) A-IV has been related to fat absorption and to the activation of some of the …

We examined the distributions of seven polymorphic sites in three apolipoprotein genes
(APOE, APOA4, and APOH) and their relationships with quantitative lipid levels (total …

Human apolipoprotein C-IV (apoC-IV, protein; APOC4, gene) is a new member of the APO
E/C1/C2 gene cluster. In transgenic mice, human apoC-IV is predominantly associated with …
