Abstract excerpt
We have used adenovirus-mediated gene transfer and bolus injection of purified apolipoprotein E (apoE) in mice to determine the contribution of LDL receptor family members in the clearance of apoE-containing lipoproteins in vivo and the factors that trigger hypertriglyceridemia. A low dose [5 x 10(8) plaque-forming units (pfu)] of an adenovirus expressing apoE4 did not normalize plasma cholesterol levels of...
