Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport (SLC) activity and its maximal velocity (Vmax) are associated with hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The presence of apolipoprotein (apo) E variants is associated with hypertriglyceridemia. This study investigated the relationship between apoE phenotype and SLC kinetics. METHODS: Cardiovascular risk factors and SLC kinetics were measured...
