The association between the apolipoprotein B/A-I ratio and coronary calcification may differ depending on kidney function in a healthy population. [PDF]
The apolipoprotein B/A-1 ratio has been reported to be one of the strongest risk predictors of cardiovascular events. However, its prognostic value for cardiovascular disease is still uncertain, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Apolipoprotein[a] is not associated with apolipoprotein B in human liver
The aim of this research was to determine whether apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) is linked to apolipoprotein B (apoB) in human liver. Four ELISAs were developed: 1) a competition assay that measures apoB; 2) a competition assay that measures apo[a]; 3) a capture assay based on capture of apo[a] by a polyclonal antibody and detection of co-immobilized apoB ...

Effect of Early Enteral Feeding on Apolipoprotein AI Levels and High-Density Lipoprotein Heterogeneity in Preterm Infants [PDF]
Background/Aim: We have previously shown that infants receiving total parenteral nutrition have low apolipoprotein Al levels which are associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) class distributions as in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase ...

Apolipoprotein-B-48 is a structural protein exclusively associated with post-prandial lipoproteins (chylomicrons). Apolipoprotein B-48 would be a useful marker to monitor the kinetics of chylomicrons in vivo, however, its quantitation is limited because ...

Genetic variants in Apolipoprotein AV alter triglyceride concentrations in pregnancy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Triglyceride concentrations are raised in pregnancy and are considered a key fetal fuel. Several gene variants are known to alter triglyceride concentrations, including those in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), and most ...

Identification of disulfide-linked apolipoprotein species in human lipoproteins
We wished to determine whether apolipoprotein C-IIToronto, a mutant form of apolipoprotein C-II that contains a C-terminal cysteine residue, exists as a monomeric species or as multiple disulfide-linked species in plasma lipoproteins.

IgG anti-apolipoprotein A-1 antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with disease activity and corticosteroid therapy: an observational study. [PDF]
IgG anti-apolipoprotein A-1 (IgG anti-apoA-1) antibodies are present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may link inflammatory disease activity and the increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in ...

Clinical significance of fasting and postprandial lipemia in obese and non-obese subjects [PDF]
Background and objective: Postprandial lipemia is a risk marker for the presence or progression of cardiovascular disease. Identifying factors affecting lipoprotein metabolism in postprandial state is of interest in order to find ways for prevention of ...
