1 Effect of low-dose alcohol use versus abstention on apolipoproteins A-I and B. Alcohols apolipoprotein A1 Homo sapiens
2 An attempt was made to determine if this association might be due to an effect of alcohol on apolipoproteins A-I and B and to determine if low-dose alcohol intake might have a potentially protective effect by this mechanism in persons at increased risk for coronary heart disease. Alcohols apolipoprotein A1 Homo sapiens
3 Apolipoprotein A-I levels had a mean increase of 9 mg/dl in the 28 participants who drank alcohol compared with a mean decline of 5 mg/dl in the 28 participants who abstained (p less than 0.005). Alcohols apolipoprotein A1 Homo sapiens
4 This effect on apolipoprotein A-I suggests a possible mechanism by which low-dose alcohol may lower the risk of coronary heart disease. Alcohols apolipoprotein A1 Homo sapiens
