Recent observations suggest that the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated
with both the level and composition of the two major populations of apolipoprotein (apo)-
defined high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles: those containing both apo AI and apo A-II
[Lp (AI, AII)] and those containing apo AI without apo A-II [Lp (AI)]. While sex hormones are
