Abstract

Conclusions. The apoE phenotype influenced serum cholesterol concentration markedly by 7 months of age. Between the ages of 7 and 13 months, a reduced saturated fat and cholesterol diet effectively prevented the age-associated increases in serum cholesterol and non-high-density cholesterol concentrations that were obvious in the control infants. The effects of the diet occurred in the infants independently of the apoE phenotype.
