Apolipoprotein E genetic variants interact with Mediterranean diet to modulate postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in coronary heart disease patients: CORDIOPREV study

Abstract

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.
