title: [Serum apolipoprotein E levels in 238 healthy adults and 161 hyperlipidemic subjects in Chengdu area].
abstract: The serum apoE levels in 238 healthy adults in Chengdu are aware determined by radioimmunodiffusion (RID) assay. The average apoE level was 3.98 +/- 0.98 mg/dl (chi +/- s). The result was basically identical with other reports. There is no difference in sex, and the level has a tendency to increase with age. One hundred and sixty-one hyperlipidemic subjects (including types IIa, IIb, IV and V were compared with the normals. Their serum apoE levels increased by different percentages depending on the type of hyperlipidemia. The percentage of increasing was especially higher in types V and IIb. The content of apoE in serum positively correlated with serum triglyceride (r = 0.65, P < 0.01) and with serum total cholesterol (r = 0.50, P < 0.01).
