Transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress the human apolipoprotein AV gene (APOA5) yet lack
an endogenous mouse apoa5 gene (APOA5 Tg mice) were generated. Subsequently, the
effect of human apoA-V expression on plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and
lipoprotein and apolipoprotein distribution was determined and compared with that in mice
deficient in apoA-V (apoa5−/− mice). NMR analysis of plasma lipoproteins revealed that
APOA5 Tg mice had a very low VLDL concentration (26.4±7.7 nmol/dl), whereas VLDL in …
