Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, where inflammation impacts levels differentially across ethnicity. We investigated the effect of systemic [serum amyloid A (SAA)] and vascular [pentraxin-3 (PTX-3)] inflammation on Lp(a) levels across different apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] sizes in a biethnic population. Lp(a) and allele-specific apo(a) levels, apo(a) sizes, SAA, and PTX-3 levels...
