The ins and outs of lipoprotein(a) assay methods

Archives of Medical Science: Atherosclerotic Diseases, 2023
Pathophysiological, epidemiological and genetic studies convincingly showed lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) to be a causal mediator of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Association of Glycated Haemoglobin and Serum Apolipoproteins with Diabetic Retinopathy: An Indian Overview [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: India is presently facing an epidemic of diabetes mellitus and the risks of chronic complications from the disease are associated with the duration of the disease as well as the degree of hyperglycaemia.

Apo B/Apo A-I Ratio is Statistically A Better Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) than Conventional Lipid Profile: A Study from Kathmandu Valley, Nepal [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Background: Apo B and Apo A-I, are structural and functional components of lipoprotein particles that serve as transporters of cholesterol. The apo B/apo A-I ratio reflects the cholesterol transport and has been shown to be strongly related to risk ...

Lipoprotein(a) Serum Levels Predict Pulse Wave Velocity in Subjects in Primary Prevention for Cardiovascular Disease with Large Apo(a) Isoforms: Data from the Brisighella Heart Study

Biomedicines, 2022
In the last decades, high serum levels of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) have been associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, in particular among individuals with smaller apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) isoforms than those with larger sizes. The aim

Studies on the apoproteins of rat lymph chylomicrons: characterization and metabolism of a new chylomicron-associated apoprotein

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
The apoprotein composition of rat lymph chylomicrons and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) was investigated following isolation and purification by preparative gel electrophoresis. The medium molecular weight apoproteins in the 27,000-60,000 range were
