Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) can be defined as a lipoprotein particle having as a protein moiety
apolipoprotein B-100 (the protein associated with low-density lipoprotein) disulfide-linked to …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] represents an LDL-like particle to which the Lp (a)-specific
apolipoprotein (a) is linked via a disulfide bridge. It has gained considerable interest as a …

Since its identification by Kåre Berg in 1963, lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has become a focus of
research interest owing to the results of case-control and prospective studies linking …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a unique lipoprotein that has emerged as an independent
risk factor for developing vascular disease. Plasma Lp (a) levels above the common cut-off …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], is present only in humans, Old World nonhuman primates, and the
European hedgehog. Lp (a) has many properties in common with low-density lipoprotein …

Although elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) have been identified as a
risk factor for coronary heart disease, the pathophysiologic and physiologic roles of Lp (a) …

Lipoprotein (a) Lp (a) is a cholesterol‐rich, LDL‐like particle that is independently
associated with an increased risk for ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, thrombosis …

Although lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) has been recognized as an atherothrombogenic factor, the
underlying mechanisms for this pathogenicity have not been clearly defined. Plasma levels …

Coronary heart disease risk correlates directly with plasma concentrations of lipoprotein
(a)(Lp (a)), a lowdensity lipoprotein-like particle distinguished by the presence of the …

High levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an apoB100-containing lipoprotein, are an independent
and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms …
