Abstract:Human high density lipoproteins (HDL) are divided into two major subpopulations based on lipoprotein composition. The predominant subpopulation contains both major apolipoproteins apoA-I and apoA-II (termed LpA-I/A-II), while the minor subpopulation contains only apoA-I (termed LpA-I). It is speculated that LpA-I/A-II could demonstrate different anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties compared to LpA-I. The goal of the current work was to dissect out any contributions from apoA-II on such beneficial fu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
