    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism on the lipid metabolism regulatory effect of Xuezhikang Capsule (XZKC). METHODS: ApoE polymorphism of 74 patients with hyperlipidemia was detected by gene sequencing method, and their plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C) were determined before and after they received a 6-week treatment of XZKC, for analyzing the relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and the changes of various blood lipids associated indices. RESULTS: The effect of XZKC on reducing TG in the epsilon2 allele (E2/E2 and E2/E3 genotypes) was higher than that in the E3/E3 genotypes and epsilon4 allele (E3/E4 and E4/E4 genotypes), while on increasing HDL-C, it showed more effect in the epsilon4 allele (E3/E4 and E4/E4 genotypes) than that in the epsilon2 allele (E2/E2 and E2/E3 genotypes) and E3/E3 genotypes. CONCLUSION: Patients' ApoE gene polymorphism could influence the lipid regulatory effect of XZKC, embodying mainly by raising HDL-C and reducing TG in patients with different ApoE genotypes to different extents.
