A high plasma concentration of lipoprotein Lp (a) is now considered to be a major and
independent risk factor for cerebro‐and cardiovascular atherothrombosis. The mechanism …

High plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] are now considered a major risk factor
for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This effect of Lp (a) may be related to its …

The distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a), or Lp (a), levels differ significantly among ethnic
groups. Individuals of African descent have a two-to threefold higher mean plasma level of …

High plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a covalent low-density lipoprotein-
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] complex, are associated with coronary heart disease and stroke …

Lipoprotein (a) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease composed of an apolipoprotein B-
containing lipoprotein to which a second protein, apolipoprotein (a), is attached. We …

The apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]) gene encodes a protein component of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
whose plasma levels vary widely among individuals. Hyper-Lp (a)-emia constitutes a risk …

Abstract Background/Aims: Lp (a) levels have long been recognized as a potential risk factor
for coronary heart disease that is almost completely under genetic control. Much of the …

The apolipoprotein E4 allele is associated in industrialized countries with an elevated LDL
cholesterol concentration and an increased cardiovascular risk. Our purpose in this study …

Background: Our purpose was to identify factors associated with hyperlipidemia post-
transplantation in a Hispanic population. Methods: From 1985 to 1999, a kidney graft …

Genetic apo (a) isoforms were originally defined according to their relative mobility in SDS-
PAGE compared to apoB-100 and were designated as F, B or S1–S4 isotypes. This widely …
