Infection induces a positive acute phase apolipoprotein E response from a negative acute phase gene: role of hepatic LDL receptors*s⃞
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays important roles in lipid homeostasis, anti-inflammation, and host defense. Since tissue apoE mRNA levels have been reported to decrease during inflammatory responses, we were surprised to find that plasma apoE levels were significantly elevated during septic infections...
