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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

Initially, lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] was believed to be a genetic variant of lipoprotein (Lp)-B.
Because its lipid moiety is almost identical to LDL, Lp (a) has been deliberately considered …

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 …

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 …
