Lipoproteins and Lipoprotein Metabolism
1975The plasma lipoproteins provide the body with a transport system for the otherwise insoluble lipids. All lipids except for free fatty acids and lysolecithin, circulate in plasma from their site of origin to their site of utilization in association with these lipid-protein complexes, the lipoproteins. In healthy humans, more than 100 g of triglycerides,

Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have early development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid level-lowering medications are not always successful in reducing increased low-density lipoprotein C (LDL-C) levels. Lipoprotein apheresis (LA) therapy has proven its clinical benefit in reducing CVD events for patients ...

The Biochemistry of Lipoproteins
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1988SummaryLipids are transported in the blood in four major classes of lipoproteins. The triacylglycerol‐rich lipoproteins are chylomicrons and very‐low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) which are produced by the small intestine and liver, respectively. These lipoproteins mainly carry fatty acids to adipose tissue and muscle where the triacylglycerol is ...

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1995
Lipoprotein (a) is similar to low-density lipoprotein but is unique in having an additional apolipoprotein called apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) covalently linked to it. apo(a), which is a member of the plasminogen gene superfamily, has a protease domain which cannot be activated to cause fibrinolysis.

Lipoprotein apheresis for lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease
Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2019Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In the United States, lipoprotein apheresis (LA) therapy is approved for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. Germany uses LA therapy for patients with an Lp(a) > 60 mg/dL, normal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and CVD.

Our understanding of the pathophysiological role of lipoprotein (a) in cardiovascular disease and its clinical importance has improved, but there are still gaps in our knowledge and analytical performance that hinder the appropriate management of patients.

β-lipoprotein, lipoprotein lipase and atromid
Journal of Atherosclerosis Research, 1963Summary The lipoprotein lipase activity eluted in connection with chromatographically separated β-lipoprotein was considerably lower in 6 cases of essential hyperlipaemia than the average for 7 healthy controls. Atromid administration seemed to increase the lipoprotein lipase activity per mg β-lipoprotein protein in 4 of 5 cases.

Lipoprotein(a) : new insights into an atherogenic lipoprotein
The Clinical Investigator, 1994Lipoprotein(a) constitutes a macromolecular complex in human plasma that combines structural features from the blood clotting and the lipoprotein systems. Aside from the discovery of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] as a potential independent risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease its physiological role and activity remains obscure.

Lipoprotein(a) and atherogenesis
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1994Lipoprotein(a) is a major inherited risk factor for atherosclerosis. Many of its activities depend on its plasminlike component, apolipoprotein(a). In vitro studies suggest that apolipoprotein(a) could enhance lipid deposition through binding to sites in the vessel wall, interfere with fibrinolysis, and modulate smooth muscle cell activity.
