Abstract excerpt
Two proteins that may be important in the hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis produced by dietary fat and/or cholesterol are apoB and the LDL-receptor. We evaluated the molecular and genetic regulation of these two proteins by two important components of atherogenic diets: dietary fatty acids and dietary cholesterol. The control diet (C) contained 5% corn oil; the high cholesterol (HC) diets, 5% corn oil...
