Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is essential for the clearance of plasma chylomicron and VLDL remnants. The human APOE locus is polymorphic and 5-10% of APOE*2 homozygotes exhibit type-III hyperlipoproteinemia (THL), while the remaining homozygotes have less than normal plasma cholesterol. In contrast, mice expressing APOE*2 in place of the mouse Apoe (Apoe(2/2) mice) are markedly hyperlipoproteinemic, suggesting a...
