Epidemiological and clinical studies over the past decade have firmly established that
elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) are an important, independent and …

Abundant evidence links elevated levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) to higher cardiovascular
risk, leaving clinicians with the challenge of what measures to take to mitigate Lp (a) …

Estrogen influences the physiology of many target tissues in both women and men. The long-
term effects of estrogen are mediated predominantly by nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs) …

Prolonged or excessive exposure to oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) generates chronic
inflammation. OxPLs are present in atherosclerotic lesions and can be detected in plasma …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] resembles low-density lipoprotein (LDL), with an LDL lipid core and
apolipoprotein B (apoB), but contains a unique apolipoprotein, apo (a). Elevated Lp (a) is an …

Objective Transition to menopause has been associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD), attributed mainly to atherogenic dyslipidemia. Whether …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a highly heritable cardiovascular risk factor. Although
discovered more than 50 years ago, Lp (a) has recently re-emerged as a major focus in the …

We have previously demonstrated that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
(PPARγ) is expressed and transcriptionally responsive to both synthetic and natural ligands …

Objective Data on the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and tibolone on
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, are …

The past few years have shown an ongoing interest in lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)), a lipid
molecule that has been proven to have atherogenic, thrombogenic, and inflammatory …
