Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the relationship between apo(a) size and Lp(a) concentration in healthy Ivorian subjects. METHODS: Serum Lp(a) was measured by immunonephelometry and electroimmunodiffusion, and apo(a) size determined by immunoblotting. RESULTS: Both assay methods provided comparable information. Lp(a) concentrations showed a non-Gaussian distribution and skewed towards higher values. Apo(a) isoform size...
