Abstract excerpt

Effects of apolipoprotein E (apo E) genetic polymorphism on plasma lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels were investigated in 305 civil service workers (158 men and 147 women). Plasma Lp(a) levels were measured by ELISA. Apo E phenotypes were determined from plasma by isoelectric focusing, Western blotti...
