Ethnicity and lipoprotein(a) polymorphism in Native Mexican populations.
BACKGROUND Lp(a) is a lipoparticle of unknown function mainly present in primates and humans. It consists of a low-density lipoprotein and apo(a), a polymorphic glycoprotein. Apo(a) shares sequence homology and fibrin binding with plasminogen, inhibiting its fibrinolytic properties. Lp(a) is considered a link between atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Marked inter-ethnic differences in Lp(a) conce...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E polymorphism affects plasma levels of lipoprotein(a).
In a group of 303 healthy Caucasian adults of both sexes we studied the influence of the apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism on plasma levels of Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a). The APOE*2 allele was found to decrease the mean plasma Lp(a) level by 24.8%, whereas the APOE*4 allele increased the mean Lp(a) level by 25.7%. These effects were parallel to the effect of apo E polymorphism on plasma choleste...
متن کاملHuman platelet antigen polymorphism in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...
متن کاملAssociation between Lipoprotein Lipase Hind III Polymorphism and Serum Levels of Lipids in Semnan City
Background & Aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the key enzymes regulating the metabolism of triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphisms are possibly involved in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. Hind III polymorphism is one of the most common polymorphisms in LPL gene. In some studies, association of Hind III polymorphism with dyslipidemia h...
متن کاملlipoprotein lipase hindiii intronic polymorphism in a subset of iranian patients with late-onset alzheimer’s disease
objective: lipid metabolism is involved in the pathogenesis of late-onset alzheimer’s disease (load). lipoprotein lipase (lpl) is a multifunctional enzyme that plays a major role in lipid metabolism; its abnormal function seems to be related, either directly or indirectly, to the pathogenesis of many diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (cad) and alzheimer’s disease (ad) . ...
