Interaction Information:

Comment The presence of the apo E4 isoform was associated with a higher level of Lp-PLA2 (PLA2G7, phospholipase A2, group VII) index, a marker of vascular inflammation. The Lp-PLA2 index, an integrated measure of Lp-PLA2 mass and activity was higher in apo E4 carriers irrespective of ethnicity.
