  1. Lipoprotein(a) and the risk of vascular disease

    Erqou, SebhatUniversity of Cambridge2010

    Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is composed of a low density-lipoprotein (LDL) particle and a glycoprotein molecule known as apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]. Apo(a) exists in several differently-sized isoforms and is responsible for the unique properties of Lp(a). Although Lp(a) has been known for …

  5. Oxidative Modifications of Apolipoprotein(a): Implications for Proinflammatory and Prothrombotic Roles of Lipoprotein(a) in the Vasculature

    Scipione, Corey AnthonyUniversity of Windsor2016

    Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) have been identified as a causal risk factor for calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Relationships have recently been identified for genetic factors, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LPA …
