Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis mansoni is a parasitic liver disease, which causes several metabolic disturbances. Here, we evaluate the influence of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism, a known modulator of lipid metabolism, on plasma lipid levels in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Blood samples were used for APOE genotyping and to measure total cholesterol (TC),...
