Study reveals that both lacto-ovo vegetarian and Mediterranean diets positively impact apolipoprotein levels and cardiovascular disease risk factors, with Mediterranean diet showing a more substantial effect on apolipoprotein levels, particularly in women and older individuals with fewer CVD risk factors.
UNC School of Medicine researcher Sarah Cohen, PhD, and Ian Windham, a former PhD student from the Cohen lab, have made a new discovery about apolipoprotein E (APOE) – the biggest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
