Genetic influences on age-related change in total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels: longitudinal apolipoprotein E genotype effects.

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 genotype has been consistently associated with variation in mean levels of TC and LDL-C, and also appears to influence TG...
