Human apolipoprotein A-I prevents atherosclerosis associated with apolipoprotein[a] in transgenic mice.

Abstract excerpt

Elevated levels of apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) are associated, respectively, with increased and decreased atherosclerosis risk, in both humans and transgenic mice. To investigate the interactions of these two important lipid-associated proteins, we assessed the effect of expression of human apoA-I and apo[a] transgenes, both singularly and together, on murine atherogenesis. Mice...
