Abstract excerpt
The distribution of Lp(a) lipoprotein (Lp[a]) and genetic apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]) isoforms in plasma samples from 29 healthy normolipidemic subjects of known apo(a) phenotype was evaluated by density gradient ultracentrifugation. The density of Lp(a) was directly related to the size of the apo...
