Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effect of variation at the apolipoprotein (apo) E gene locus on the serum lipid response to a hypolipidemic diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Lipoprotein changes were assessed in 122 outpatients with type IIa (n = 70) and type IIb (n = 52) hyperlipidemia [80 men and 42 women with apo E phenotypes 3/2 (n = 27), 3/3 (n = 48), and 4/3 (n = 47)] who were switched from their basal...
