Abstract
The mechanism behind the association of elevated plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels with atherosclerotic disease is unknown. In the present study, Lp(a) induced generation of oxygen free radicals by monocytes from selected healthy individuals in vitro. This observation may provide a link between Lp(a) and generation of oxidized LDL, which can promote multiple atherogenic cellular responses.Entities:
