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 …

Distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations exhibit marked interracial
differences. Apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]), the unique constituent of Lp (a), is highly …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) represents a quantitative trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. Large variation in the distribution of Lp (a) concentrations …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a low density lipoprotein particle with an attached
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], varies widely in concentration between individuals. These …

Differences in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels across populations have been described and
blacks are known to have higher Lp (a) values compared to whites. However, environmental …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] is a large serum glycoprotein with several genetically
determined isoforms differing in their apparent molecular weight. We determined the effects …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative trait in human plasma. Lp (a) consists of a
low-density lipoprotein and the plasminogen-related apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. The apo (a) …

Lp (a) is a unique lipoprotein consisting of an LDL-like particle and a characteristic protein,
apo (a). Increased levels of Lp (a) constitute a risk factor for coronary heart disease …

Apolipoprotein [a] polymorphism has been investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate
polyacrylamide (5.37%) gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting using a standardized …

Lp [a] concentrations in nmol/L and apo [a] size isoforms, expressed in terms of the relative
number of apo [a] kringle 4 (K4) repeats, were determined in 3959 whites and blacks from …
