Popis: The effects of apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV genotype on serum glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose concentrations were ascertained in a population of 373 men and 361 women with a mean age of about 57 years. Subjects were evaluated at entry into a lifestyle intervention program. Apolipoprotein A-IV genotype variations at residues 347 and 360 were examined, as these mutations affect the sequence of apo A-IV, a major protein constituent of intestinal triglyceride-rich lipoprotein and HDL. With regard to the apo A-IV 360 mutation, 16.4% of the females and 13.4% of the males carried the apo A-IV 2-allele, almost entirely in the heterozygous state. No effect of the apo A-IV 1/2 genotype was observed in either men or women on total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, the total cholesterol (TC)/HDL ratio, or on A-I, A-IV and apo B levels. This was also the case for the apo A-IV 347 mutation. However, women with the apo A-IV 360 1/2 genotype had significantly (p
