We present a murine model that examines the effects of macrophage-produced apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) and apoE4 on VLDL and high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Mice expressing apoE3 on the Apoe(-/-) background had substantially lower VLDL levels than mice expressing apoE4. In addition, there were differences between the HDL of apoE3- and apoE4-expressing mice. Apoe(-/-) mice have low levels of HDL. Low...
