Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the expression of allelic variants of X-linked glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in aorta from homozygous, hemizygous, and heterozygous baboons (Papio hamadryas). Fibrous plaques from heterozygous baboons fed a high cholesterol, saturated fat diet contained distributions of G6PD allelic variants that differed from those of normal arterial wall and fatty streaks. The skewed allelic...
