Lipoprotein (a) is a low-density lipoprotein that transports cholesterol in the blood. The lipoprotein (a) test — or Lp(a) test — determines the level of this lipoprotein in the blood, and its results ...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against atherosclerosis. Endothelial lipase (EL) has been postulated to be involved in lipoprotein, and possibly HDL, metabolism, yet the evidence has been ...

In a recent study published in the journal Current Medical Research and Opinion, researchers report that high lipoprotein(a) levels were linked to repeated coronary heart disease events in older ...

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, ...

Elevated lipoprotein(a) concentrations are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The safety and efficacy of lepodisiran, an extended-duration, small interfering RNA targeting hepatic ...

A new analysis has uncovered a potential link between higher prostate cancer risk and genetic variants associated with higher bloodstream levels of the cholesterol-transporting molecule lipoprotein A.

A new drug offers a breakthrough world first treatment for Lipoprotein(a), a largely genetic form of cholesterol that increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, announced today by study lead ...
