Abstract excerpt
High plasma lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] concentrations are an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases. To date, no effective intervention strategies on reducing Lp(a) concentrations have been reported. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible modulation of two polymorphisms of LPA gene (LPA 93C>T and LPA 121G>A) and nutritional habits on Lp(a) concentrations. We studied 647 healthy Italian...
