Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism is related to metabolic abnormalities, but does not influence erythrocyte membrane lipid composition or sodium-lithium countertransport activity in essential hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene polymorphism on insulin resistance and plasma lipid composition of essential hypertensive patients. A secondary objective was to analyze if differences regarding plasma lipids had an effect on the erythrocyte membrane lipid composition and the activity of the erythrocyte membrane sodium-lithium countertransport. We studied 128...
