In the liver and the yolk sack of 6-12 week postfertilization human embryos, we have detected RNA transcripts from the following apolipoprotein genes: AI, AII, B, CII, CIII and E. The mRNA from the apolipoprotein CIII gene was relatively more abundant in the total RNA from the yolk sack than in that from the liver. The gut and adrenals contained transcripts of all these apolipoprotein genes apa...

Current information suggests that the major forms of the human B apolipoproteins, B-100 and B-48, are under separate genetic control and are synthesized by the liver and intestine, respectively. The apolipoprotein B composition of plasma lipoproteins has been determined in order to gain insight into the metabolic defects in patients with dyslipoproteinemias. Patients with type I and type V hype...

Results of genome-wide linkage analyses to identify chromosomal regions that influence interindividual variation in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels in the Rochester, Minn, population are reported. Analyses were conducted for total cholesterol (total-C), triglycerides (TGs), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, apolipoprotein B, apolipopro...

conclusions our meta-analysis, while not ruling out possible publication bias, showed no association between gene polymorphisms of apoc3 and the risk of nafld development in different populations in the world. evidence acquisition we performed a meta-analysis of all relevant studies published in the literature. a total of 115 clinical trials or reports were identified, but only seven trials met...
