Three Cases of Apolipoprotein E-7 Associated with Hypertriglyceridemia

Apolipoprotein A5 and hypertriglyceridemia.

Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) (1–5), and it is an integral component of the overlapping syndromes of familial combined hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance syndrome, atherogenic lipoprotein profile, and hyperapobetalipoproteinemia (6 ). More than one mechanism may be involved in the increased risk of CHD associated with increased serum trig...

Depression was associated with apolipoprotein E ε4 allele polymorphism: A meta-analysis

Objective(s): Previous studies have reached different conclusions regarding an association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms and depression. This meta-analysis was designed to clarify these controversies. Materials and Methods: Literatures were identified reviewing the national and international databases. The eligible articles for meta-analysis were determined by quality assessment...

Association of Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism with Susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis

Chylomicronemia due to apolipoprotein CIII overexpression in apolipoprotein E-null mice. Apolipoprotein CIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia is not mediated by effects on apolipoprotein E.

The mechanism of apolipoprotein (apo) CIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia remains uncertain. We crossed apoCIII transgenic and apoE gene knockout (apoE0) mice, and observed severe hypertriglyceridemia with plasma triglyceride levels of 4,521+/-6, 394 mg/dl vs. 423+/-106 mg/dl in apoE0 mice, P < 0.00001 for log(triglycerides [TG]). Cholesterols were 1,181+/-487 mg/dl vs. 658+/-151 mg/dl, P < 0.000...

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism association with lipoprotein profile in endogenous hypertriglyceridemia and familial hypercholesterolemia.

Apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism was among the first-reported genetic polymorphisms that explained part of the normal variation in plasma cholesterol concentrations in humans. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of allelic variation at the apo E gene locus on the plasma lipoprotein profile in hyperlipidemia. The lipoprotein levels of hyperlipidemic subjects of the major apo E p...
