Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-IV (apo A-IV) is a major component of several lipoprotein particles and may, therefore, play an important role in lipid metabolism. Genetic polymorphism of apo A-IV has been reported in humans and several other animal species. The presence of two common alleles, apo A-IV * 1 and apo A-IV * 2 has been documented in several human populations. In this investigation, we have determined apo A-IV...
