Lipoprotein (a) levels, apolipoprotein (a) phenotypes and thyroid autoimmunity.

Abstract excerpt

It has been reported that euthyroid normolipidemic males and postmenopausal females exhibit significantly higher serum lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) levels compared with age- and sex-matched normolipidemic controls. However, it is well known that there is an inverse correlation between Lp(a) concentration and apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) isoform size.
