Abstract excerpt
Genetic and dietary effects on LDL phenotypes, including predominant LDL particle diameter, LDL size distribution, and non-HDL cholesterol and apoB concentrations, were investigated in 150 pedigreed baboons that are members of 19 sire groups. Baboons were fed a sequence of three defined diets differing in levels of fat and cholesterol. Increasing dietary fat had relatively little effect on two measures of LDL...
