What proportion of this risk do Lp(a) particles carry? To answer these questions, we created a novel metric of atherogenic risk: risk-weighted apolipoprotein B. Methods: In nmol/L: Risk-weighted apoB = apoB - Lp(a) Lp(a) x 7 = apoB Lp(a) x 6. Proportion of risk captured by ...
Retention of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins within the arterial wall plays a major causal role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is a single apoB molecule in all apoB-containing lipoproteins. Therefore, quantitation of apoB directly estimates the number of ather...
The A-series and B48 apolipoproteins are added by the small intestine, but the C-series and E apolipoproteins, which are synthesized in the liver, appear to transfer from HDL to nascent chylomicrons soon after they are released into the circulation. Chylomicrons are attacked by lipoprotein ...
(57) transgenic rabbits with the genomic DNA, the sequence encoding the apolipoprotein B polypeptide (a) a polypeptide apolipoprotein capable of producing lipoprotein (a) in [Abstract] binding, the production of the rabbit such method, a... ルイ,ディディエ,デュベルジェ,ニコラ,エマニュエ...
Recent evidence shows that apolipoprotein (apo) B, apoB/apoA-I ratio and lipoprotein(a) are better indicators of coronary risk than the conventional lipid profile. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of apoA-I and B, and lipoprotein(a) with myocardial infarction (MI). We...
Lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein (a), phenotype and thyroid autoimmunity in patients with renal failure Objective:The aim of this study was to assess the serum levels of Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in subjects with thyroid disorders, as well as to investigate thei... M. Elisaf and K. Katopodi...
Our data show that apolipoprotein B levels tend to increase with age both in boys and girls, whereas apolipoprotein A values decrease significantly in the older children. These changes are shown more clearly when the ratio of Apo-A/Apo-B is compared between younger and older children. The ...
Circulating lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] level relates inversely to apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] size. Both smaller apo(a) isoforms and higher Lp(a) levels have been linked to coronary heart disease and stroke, but their independent contributions are less well defined. We examined the role of ...
(LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), calcium, phosphate and their ion product. Bivariate correlation analysis indicated that serum Lp(a) was associated positively with the occurrence and severity of CAD, diabetes mellitus and the levels of serum glucose, cholesterol, LDL-C, apoB, calcium, ...
