In vivo fate and scavenger receptor recognition of oxidized lipoprotein[a] isoforms in rats.
High levels of Lp[a] in blood form an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Oxidative modification of Lp[a] may be involved in the suggested atherogenic action of Lp[a]. After Cu(2+)-mediated oxidative modification of the 440 kDa and 610 kDa apo[a] isoforms of lipoprotein[a] (Ox-Lp[a]), the i...
