Vascular Disease Is Associated With the Expression of Genes for Intestinal Cholesterol Transport and Metabolism

Intestinal cholesterol metabolism is important in influencing postprandial lipoprotein concentrations, and might be important in the development of vascular disease.This study evaluated associations between expression of intestinal cholesterol metabolism genes, postprandial lipid metabolism, and endothelial function/early vascular disease in human subjects.One hundred patients undergoing routine oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy were recruited. mRNA...
