We try to explore whether long-term consumption of two healthy dietary patterns (low-fat [LF] diet or Mediterranean diet [MedDiet]) interacts with the apolipoprotein E (APOE) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: rs439401, rs440446 and rs7412) modulating postprandial hypertriglyceridemia (ppHTG) in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.
The AD-associated SNPs rs405509 and rs439401 increased the risk of leprosy per se and multibacillary leprosy (P < 0·005), but the APOE-ε4 allele did not.
Thus, in a population of stressed and non-stressed Danish men, we examined whether associations between APOE rs439401 and a panel of metabolic quantitative traits, all metabolic traits which may lead to T2D and CVD were moderated by psychological stress.
