The atherogenic lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is significantly increased in patients with kidney
disease. Some studies in hemodialysis patients described this increase to be dependent on …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[(Lp (a)], a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-like particle, contains in
addition to LDL a specific protein component, apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Conventionally, Lp …

Background Apolipoprotein (a) isoforms of low-molecular weight are associated with
coronary heart disease. However, because of the high number of apolipoprotein (a) …

Lp (a) is a unique lipoprotein consisting of an LDL-like particle and a characteristic protein,
apo (a). Increased levels of Lp (a) constitute a risk factor for coronary heart disease …

Apolipoprotein (a) is coded by one of the most polymorphic genes known in humans. In
white and Asian populations variation in this gene is the major determinant of the plasma …

There is considerable variation in the severity of cardiovascular disease among patients with
familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Some reports have suggested that plasma lipoprotein …

Aims: Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a plasma lipoprotein consisting of a low-density lipoprotein
(LDL)–like particle with apolipoprotein (Apo)(a), attached via a disulfide bond to Apo B100 …

The relationship of Lp (a) with manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD) has not been
studied extensively in women. There is little information as to the association of the unique …

We measured plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) in a sample of 152 Dutch adolescent
mono-and dizygotic twin pairs and their parents. The distribution of Lp (a) levels was …

Abstract Plasma lipoprotein [a](Lp [a]) concentrations are inversely associated with, and
largely determined by, apolipoprotein [a](apo [a]) gene size, a highly polymorphic trait. We …
