BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the relationship between the apolipoprotein (apo) B-100, or the apo B-100/apo A-I ratio, and coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study...
Lipoprotein(a), a complex formed by apolipoprotein(a), apo B-100 and lipids, is considered an independent, genetically determined, predictor of cardiovascular disease. It may have antifibrinolytic properties in view of its similarity...
BACKGROUND: The structure of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] includes a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) component and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] linked to apolipoprotein B-100 of LDL-C with a disulfide bond. Liver cirrhosis is the...
Lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)] represents a class of lipoprotein particles defined by the presence of apolipoprotein(a), a unique glycoprotein linked by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein B-100 to form a single macromolecule. It...
PURPOSE: Atherosclerosis is classically defined as an immune-mediated disease characterized by accumulation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol over intima in medium sized and large arteries. Recent studies have demonstrated that both...
