Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an atherogenic lipoprotein which is similar in structure to,
but metabolically distinct from, LDL. Factors modulating plasma Lp (a) concentrations are …

Genetic polymorphism at the apolipoprotein (a) structural locus was investigated in 203
American blacks using a high-resolution SDS-agarose electrophoresis method followed by …

Several epidemiological studies have established that elevated serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
levels are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, and restenosis of …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an atherogenic lipoprotein, consists of an LDL particle
complexed with a large glycoprotein, apollpoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Apo (a) is one of the most …

Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) Lp (a) are positively correlated with risk of cardiovascular
disease and are thought to be a function of allelic variation in apo (a), the unique protein …

We determined serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations and apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]
phenotypes in 193 healthy Koreans. We analysed the apo (a) phenotypes by a simplified …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. The major determinant of Lp (a) concentration is the …

Hypercholesterolemia is frequently associated with elevated Lp (a) levels, an independent
risk factor for coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease. A portion of …

Publisher Summary Lipoprotein a (Lp (a)) plays an important role in atherosclerosis and has
proven to be one of the most intriguing plasma lipoproteins. This chapter focuses on the …

Lipoprotein (a) or Lp (a) is a genetic variant of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL)
containing apoB100 covalently linked to apolipoprotein (a) or apo (a), the specific marker of …
