Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether the apolipoprotein E (apoE) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotypes contribute to the variance in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size in Japanese subjects (n = 136; M/F= 106/30). ACE polymorphism was associated with neither LDL size nor individual lipid levels. In contrast, the subjects with the epsilon2 allele of the apoE genotype had significantly lower levels of...
