Elevated serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease if levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are also high. The biological function of Lp(a) is unknown, but plasma levels may be elevated in inflammatory disease. Endometriosis is a common gynecologic ...
High levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the blood are a risk factor for heart disease. Outline the role of LDLs in the formation of atheroma. How could you lower your risk of cardiovascular disease overall? What improvements do you need to make in your ...

F2 isoprostanes are products of arachidonic acid oxidation resulting from free-radical attack of cell membrane phospholipids and circulating low density lipoproteins (LDLs). Urinary excretion of isoprostanes (8-iso-PGF2) is a reliable indicator of oxidative stress. We evaluated the role of oxidative ...
