The Association between Periodontal Status, Serum Lipid Levels, Lipoprotein Associated Phosholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects and Healthy Controls

The Association between Periodontal Status, Serum Lipid Levels, Lipoprotein Associated Phosholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects and Healthy Controls

Introduction: Lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) has been explored as a potential biomarker for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). The human Lp-PLA2 is a serinedependent, Ca2+- independent enzyme. It gives way to oxidised free fatty acids and lysophosphatidyl choline by hydrolysing oxi...
