  • Short and Long Term Variation in Ultraviolet Radiation and Multiple Sclerosis

    Open AccessCristina Menni, Walter E Lowell et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2012

    We examined the role of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in persons diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in four different populations, Italians, Danish, White and African Americans. We tested whether variation in UVR as determined by seasons (short term variation) and solar cycles (long term variation) is related to MS birth month and to survival as measured by lifespan. Cases were selected from three Italian MS Case Registries (2,737); from the Un…

  • Further Studies of the Influence of Apolipoprotein B Alleles on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism

    Joan Bentzen, J G Bentzen et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2003References: 2

    The effect of five genetic polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein B gene on parameters of lipid and glucose metabolism was assessed in 564 Danish mono- and dizygotic twins. Genotypes in apolipoprotein B T71I (ApaLI RFLP), A591V (AluI RFLP), L2712P (MvaI RFLP), R3611Q (MspI RFLP), and E4154K (EcoRI RFLP) were established using polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digests. The effect of genotypes on lipid levels and on glucose, insulin, an…
