Abstract excerpt
In humans and animal models, high plasma concentrations of apolipoprotein (apo) E are associated with hypertriglyceridemia. It has been shown that overexpression of human wild-type (WT) apoE4 in apoE-deficient mice induces hypertriglyceridemia. In contrast, overexpression of an apoE4 variant, apoE4-mut1 (apoE4(L261A, W264A, F265A, L268A, V269A)), does not induce hypertriglyceridemia and corrects...
