Abstract excerpt
Lp(a) is an LDL-like lipoprotein which contains an additional apolipoprotein called apo(a). Apo(a) exhibits a significant size polymorphism and its size is inversely correlated with plasma Lp(a) levels. We investigated the distribution of different apo(a) isoproteins in lipoprotein density fracti...
