How can you use “apolipoprotein” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) was discovered as a plasma protein involved in the metabolism of lipoproteins.
In a study that tested whether alterations in the expression of genes related to high-density lipoprotein metabolism affects the expression of other genes, multiple-testing methods identified 5 genes that showed significant altered expression levels in scavenger receptor BI transgenic mice and 4 genes in apolipoprotein AI-knockout mice [ 8 ] . Further discussions, additional approaches and comparisons can be found at [ 9 ] .
Similarly, women at medium and high physical activity status had 3% (p = 0.12) and 6% (p < 0.01) higher apolipoprotein A1 levels, as compared to sedentary.
APOBEC1, for example, is involved in the C→U editing of apolipoprotein B mRNA (therein christening the family), while another family member, the activation-induced deaminase, has a vital role in adaptive immunity in that it assists in the diversification of antibodies.
Conflicting results have been reported from studies on the stroke risk factor status of genes related to myocardial infarction or arterial disease, such as specific genotypes of the genes for angiotensin 1-converting enzyme ( ACE ) [ 23 24 25 26 ] or apolipoprotein [ 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Potential confounding factors include the effects of comorbidity and differential mortality rates [ 34 35 ] . Although the degree of stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries in symptomatic patients correlates with risk of ipsilateral stroke [ 36 ] , no clear conclusions can be drawn from attempts to relate carotid artery disease to specific genotypes (for example, of the paraoxonase gene PON, which is thought to protect low-density lipoprotein against oxidative modification [ 37 ] , or of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene [ 38 ] ).
