Abstract excerpt
This study addressed the possible influence of apolipoprotein E (apo E) genotype on age-related changes in total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels in older males. Apo E is a component of LDL, is a ligand for the LDL receptor, and apo E gen...
