Abstract excerpt

Serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels were measured in 89 men with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and 129 (100 male and 29 woman) healthy controls. Apolipoprotein(a) genetic polymorphism was determined by immunoblotting in all subjects. Patients with PVD had significantly higher serum Lp(a) leve...
