Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) with atherogenic and thrombotic properties has been frequently
studied in diabetes, because a high cardiovascular risk has been reported both in type 1 …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma and elevated levels
represent a major inherited risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic disease. In our …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an atherogenic lipoprotein which is similar in structure to, but meta‐
bolically distinct from, LDL. Factors modulating plasma Lp (a) concentrations are poorly …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a variant of low-density lipoprotein, is heterogeneous in
density because of variability in the content and composition of its core lipids and size …

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 …

Background: Increased concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] have been considered a
genetically determined risk factor for coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Only 2 …

Lp (a) appears to be one of the most atherogenic lipoproteins. It consists of an lowdensity
lipoprotein core in addition to a covalently bound glycoprotein, apo (a). Apo (a) exists in …

Patients with terminal renal insufficiency suffer from an increased incidence of
atherosclerotic diseases. Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] have …

Genotypes at five previously described polymorphic sites at the apolipoprotein (a) gene
locus have been determined for the members of 27 families as well as for unrelated white …

Background: The association between lipoprotein (a) levels, apolipoprotein (a) size and the
(TTTTA) n polymorphism which is located in the 5′ non-coding region of the apo (a) gene …
