Abstract excerpt
We have devised a combined in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro approach to elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible for the hypoalphalipoproteinemia in heterozygous carriers of a naturally occurring apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) variant (Leu(159) to Arg) known as apoA-I Finland (apoA-I(FIN)). Adenovirus-mediated expression of apoA-I(FIN) decreased apoA-I and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in both...
