Abstract Levels of Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] correlate directly with atherosclerosis risk. The Lp
(a) particle is physically and chemically similar to low density lipoprotein (LDL), the main …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a low-density-like lipoprotein with the addition of a Lp (a)-
specific protein, apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Plasma concentrations of Lp (a) are a risk factor …

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 …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma that is almost
unaffected by age, diet, or life-style. Thc distribution of Lp (a) plasma concentrations is …

Genetic and epidemiological studies have unequivocally established that elevated levels of
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] represent an independent cardiovascular risk factor, particularly for …

In 2010, more than 45 years after the initial discovery of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] by Kare Berg,
an European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel recommended screening for …

Lipoprotein (a) is a complex lipoprotein with unique characteristics distinguishing it from all
the other apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein particles. Its lipid composition and 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 …

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 …

The human plasma lipoprotein Lp (a) has gained considerable clinical interest as a
genetically determined risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Numerous (including …
