Human apolipoprotein A-I gene expression increases high density lipoprotein and suppresses atherosclerosis in the apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse.
27 Sept 1994
Abstract excerpt
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental determinants. Apolipoprotein (Apo) E-deficient mice have been created that are highly susceptible to atherosclerosis. In order to assess the role of human apolipoprotein (hApo) A-I and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in atherosclerosis susceptibility, transgenic mice overexpressing the hApo A-I gene were crossed with Apo E-deficient mice. Apo...
