to evaluate factors regulating the concentrations of plasma low density lipoproteins ( ldl ) , apolipoprotein b metabolism was studied in nine pima indians ( 25 +/- 2 yr , 191 +/- 20 % ideal wt ) with low ldl cholesterol ( 77 +/- 7 mg/dl ) and apob ( 60 +/- 4 mg/dl ) and in eight age- and weight-matched caucasians with similar very low density lipoprotein ( vldl ) concentrations , but higher ldl ( cholesterol = 104 +/- 18 ; apob = 82 +/- 10 ; p less than 0.05 ) .
