Several epidemiological studies have established that elevated serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
levels are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, and restenosis of …

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 …

We investigated the response of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels to dietary fat and cholesterol in
633 baboons fed a series of 3 diets: a basal diet low in cholesterol and fat, a high-fat diet …

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 …

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 …

Background Understanding of the higher susceptibility of South Asians to coronary heart
disease is limited. One explanation is the combination of high prevalence of insulin …

The role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the variability in plasma
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels was investigated in 220 members of 14 families with familial …

Objective: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
and plasma levels are primarily determined by variation at the LPA locus. We performed a …

The effects of apolipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein-E, and apolipoprotein-A4 isoforms on
quantitative lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels were assessed in a sample of 142 Dutch families …
