Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Increased lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations have been recognized as a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Little data exists on the relationship of Lp(a) concentrations to insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined insulin resistance (as determined by the euglycemic clamp) together with indirect calorimetry in relation to Lp(a) concentrations, apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]...
