摘要:The apolipoprotein (apo) E isoform is an important determinant of the plasma lipoprotein distribution of apoE and of the metabolism of apoE-containing lipoproteins. We have determined the effects of apoE genotype on the plasma lipoprotein response to cholesterol feeding in 30 young normal male subjects (5 E3/2, 11 E3/3, 14 E4/3) under rigorously controlled dietary conditions. Two diets, differing only in cholesterol content (low cholesterol (LC): 80 mg cholesterol/1000 kcal and high cholesterol (HC): 320 mg cholesterol/1000 kcal), were compared using a random crossover design. At the end of the HC as compared to the LC period, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and HDL2-C increased by an average of 15%, 21%, 7%, and 23%, respectively, for the three genotype groups combined (P
