1 Influence of apo E polymorphism on the response to simvastatin treatment in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
2 In the combined FH patient group (males and females) a considerable interindividual variation in response to simvastatin was observed, but was not related to the apoE polymorphism. Simvastatin low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
3 However, considering males and females separately, we found that female FH patients with the apoE3E3 phenotype responded better on simvastatin treatment with respect to LDL-cholesterol than male FH patients with the apoE3E3 phenotype. Simvastatin low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
