Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a major constituent of lipoproteins mediating peripheral uptake of lipids including the lipid-soluble vitamin alpha-tocopherol (alpha-toc). In a recent study, we observed significant lower alpha-toc concentrations in the lung of apoE4 compared with apoE3 transgenic mice. In this study, we determined the mRNA levels of genes encoding for proteins centrally involved in the uptake, export,...
