The chemical structure of lipoprotein (a) is similar to that of LDL, from which it differs due to
the presence of apolipoprotein (a) bound to apo B100 via one disulfide bridge. Lipoprotein …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], aka “Lp little a”, was discovered in the 1960s in the lab of the
Norwegian physician Kåre Berg. Since then, we have greatly improved our knowledge of …

Abstract Aim Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is a proatherogenic and prothrombotic lipoprotein. Our
aim was to quantify the extended-release nicotinic acid Lp (a) reducing effect with a meta …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) was discovered more than 50 years ago, and a decade later,
it was recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease. However, it has gained …

Background Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a highly atherogenic lipoprotein and is minimally
effected by lifestyle changes. While some drugs can reduce Lp (a), diet has not consistently …

Since increased cholesterol levels are crucial in determining the development of atheroma,
their reduction represents a mainstay in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an LDL‐like molecule consisting of an apolipoprotein B‐100 (apo
(B‐100)) particle attached by a disulphide bridge to apo (a). Many observations have …

Los lípidos viajan en sangre en diferentes partículas conteniendo lípidos y proteínas
llamadas lipoproteínas. Hay cuatro clases de lipoproteínas en sangre: quilomicrones, VLDL …

A number of epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a strong association between
increasing lipoprotein a [Lp (a)] and cardiovascular disease. This correlation was …

An elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration is a classical risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. This has led to pharmacotherapy in patients with atherosclerotic …
