In the present paper, we have evaluated serum Lp (a) concentrations, the frequencies of Lp
(a) phenotypes and alleles and the association between the Lp (a) phenotypes and serum …

The frequency distribution for serum lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations in healthy
Japanese was highly skewed, with a mean±SD of 14.6±13.6 mg/dl and a median of 11.0 …

Elevated lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart
disease (CHD). In the general population, Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at …

We studied the relation between the concentration of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] in plasma,
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] phenotype, and the clinical expression of coronary artery disease …

Elevated concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) in plasma are associated with premature
coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at the …

We investigated Lp (a) levels and apo (a) polymorphism in relation to the severity of
coronary artery disease, expressed both by the number of coronary arteries stenosed and …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein resembling LDL but also
containing a large polypeptide designated apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]). Its levels are highly …

Lp (a) concentrations are largely determined by apo (a) isoform size, but several studies
have shown that apo (a) isoforms could not entirely explain the increase of Lp (a) levels …

We have developed a sensitve, high-resolution method for the analysis of the apolipoprotein
(a)[apo (a)] isoforms using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-agarose/gradient polyacrylamide …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] is a large serum glycoprotein with several genetically
determined isoforms differing in their apparent molecular weight. We determined the effects …
