Genetic susceptibility and resistance to diet-induced atherosclerosis and hyperlipoproteinemia.
To test the hypothesis that genetic susceptibility or resistance to diet-induced atherosclerosis is correlated with serum levels of specific lipids, lipoproteins, or apoproteins, male mice of a genetically susceptible and a genetically resistant strain were fed either a normal or an atherogenic diet. After 20 weeks on a normal diet, neither the resistant nor the susceptible strain mice had athe...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility to Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a complex multifocal arterial disease involving interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Advances in techniques of molecular genetics have revealed that genetic ground significantly influences susceptibility to atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Besides further investigations of monogenetic diseases, candidate genes, genetic polymorphisms, and susceptibilit...
متن کاملDiet, genetic susceptibility and carcinogenesis.
At least six types of gene-environment interactions (GEI) have been proposed (Kouhry and Wagener, 1993). In the first type, neither the environmental exposure (EE) nor the genetic risk factor (GRF) have any effect by themselves, but interaction between them causes disease. This is the case of phenylalanine exposure and the phenylketonuria genotype. Type 2 is a situation in which the GRF has no ...
متن کاملDiet, nutrition, and genetic susceptibility.
On January 22-23, 1997, a workshop was held in Washington, D.C., under the auspices of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD), and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Seattle, WA). The purpose of the workshop was to provide a forum for the discussion of the interplay between diet, genes, and cancer risk. This is just part of the burgeo...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility to Transient and Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare kind of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia and low levels of insulin. Clinically, it is categorized into two main types: transient NDM (TNDM) and permanent NDM (PNDM). These types are diagnosed based on duration of insulin dependence early in the disease. In TNDM, diabetes begins in the first few weeks of life with remission in a few months. Howev...
