Can Apolipoprotein E be Cured?
No
Genetic factors can’t be changed, but lifestyle modification can reduce risk
What is Apolipoprotein E?
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a protein involved in the metabolism of lipids (fats) in the body. Certain genetic variations of APOE are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Research on APOE continues to explore its role in health and disease.
