Abstract excerpt
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a common lipid abnormality in humans. However, its etiology remains largely unknown. It was shown that severe HTG can be induced in mice by overexpression of wild-type (WT) apolipoprotein E (apoE) or specific apoA-I mutants. Certain mutations in apoE4 were found to affect plasma triglyceride (TG) levels in mice overexpressing the protein. HTG appeared to positively correlate with the...
