Is apolipoprotein E polymorphism associated with plasma cholesterol response in a 7-day hospitalization study for metabolic and dietary control in NIDDM?
Total plasma cholesterol response to in-hospital diet therapy varies by apolipoprotein E phenotypes, with subjects with apolipoprotein E2 showing the greatest response, whereas those with apolipoprotein E4 show the least. We suggest that subjects with apolipoprotein E4 should be controlled more strictly than other subjects from a viewpoint of reducing plasma cholesterol levels.
The Best Guess formulae performed moderately well in estimating children's weight, but had a tendency to overestimate weight, particularly in children with lower body mass index.
