Abstract :Lipoprotein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a);, Lp insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a);, is a spherical particle which floats at densities 1.05-1.1 g/ml. Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); can be defined as a family of particles that contain apo B100 and highly glycosylated apo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a);. Lp insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); is an independent risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. High levels of Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); are associated with premature myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disease. The pathogenicity of Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); may be due to its cholesteryl ester content contributing to the formation of foam cells. Apo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); varies in size among individuals owing to different number of cystein-rich sequences that are homologous to kringle 4 of plasminogen. The size of the apo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); gene correlates directly with the size of the apo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); protein and inversely with the concentration of Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); in plasma.
