Abstract excerpt

The apolipoprotein(a) [APO(a)] gene encodes a protein component of lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)], whose plasma levels vary among individuals. To study the implications of LP(a), we examined plasma LP(a) levels and molecular weights of APO(a) in patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes mel...
