Abstract excerpt
All studies have demonstrated a strong association between plasma cholesterol and apoE phenotypes in the following order: E4/E4 > E4/E3 > E3/E3 > E3/E2. It has been thought possible that the apoE gene might be involved in the modulation of dietary plasma cholesterol responses, perhaps explaining...
