Stroke without high blood pressure? The reason might lie in the blood—and few people know about it. Lipoprotein(a) is a value ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 87, No. 3 (1990), pp. 909-913 (5 pages) Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) catalyzes the flux-generating step in transport ...
Lipoprotein(a) levels are genetically determined and, when elevated, are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and aortic stenosis. There are no approved pharmacologic therapies to lower ...
Lipoprotein(a) is a presumed risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Olpasiran is a small interfering RNA that reduces lipoprotein(a) synthesis in the liver. We conducted a randomized, ...
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or “the good cholesterol”, plays a crucial protective role in cardiovascular health. HDL helps transport excess cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers in the United States of America designed and discovered lolamicin, a selective antibiotic that targets the lipoprotein transport system ...
