The results of the present study indicate that the decline of renal function in patients with diabetes type 2 may not be associated with levels of plasma cholesterol, but with triglyceride lipoproteins, considered remnant lipoproteins. Any association between cholesterol and apolipoprotein epsilon4 allele with progression in ADPKD may not necessarily be straightforward since this disease is influenced by other genetic and unidentified factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
