Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a modified LDL particle with an additional apolipoprotein
[apo (a)] protein covalently attached by a thioester bond. Multiple isoforms of apo (a) exist …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) consists of an LDL particle whose apolipoprotein B (apoB) is
covalently bound to apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]). An increased Lp (a) concentration is a …

Although numerous studies since the 1960s have identified increased plasma
concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), the …

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 …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is of interest to both basic researchers who endeavour to understand
the mechanism of action of this unique lipoprotein, as well as to clinicians who are interested …

There is now significant evidence to support an independent causal role for lipoprotein
(a)(Lp (a)) as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Plasma Lp (a) …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a class of lipoprotein particles having the lipid composition
of plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL), but with a distinct protein moiety comprised of two …

Aims The aims of the study were, first, to critically evaluate lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] as a
cardiovascular risk factor and, second, to advise on screening for elevated plasma Lp (a), on …

Lipoprotein (a) Lp (a) is a cholesterol‐rich, LDL‐like particle that is independently
associated with an increased risk for ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, thrombosis …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) can be defined as a lipoprotein particle having as a protein moiety
apolipoprotein B-100 (the protein associated with low-density lipoprotein) disulfide-linked to …
