Apolipoprotein E mRNA expression in mononuclear cells from normolipidemic and hypercholesterolemic individuals treated with atorvastatin

Apolipoprotein E mRNA expression in mononuclear cells from normolipidemic and hypercholesterolemic individuals treated with atorvastatin

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a key component of the lipid metabolism. Polymorphisms at the apoE gene (<it>APOE</it>) have been associated with cardiovascular disease, lipid levels and lipid-lowering response to statins. We...
