Small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and apolipoprotein (apo) CIII are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that can be modulated by diet, but there is little information ...

Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) is a genetic disease that causes cardiovascular disease. Steven Nissen, M.D., addresses why it’s important to find treatments for this genetic risk factor.

In a cohort of adults assessed for sleep issues, those in the highest quartile of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I ratio were at the greatest risk for obstructive sleep apnea and insulin ...

A new biophysical study why apoE and other apolipoproteins co-deposit with amyloids and provides a structural basis for understanding how apolipoproteins modulate amyloid growth and proliferation in ...

Philadelpia, January 26, 2022 – Researchers exploring dementia-related proteins in the brain identified Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a key misfolded protein. About 25% of individuals, and 50% of ...

CHICAGO, IL—Manufacturers of an investigational drug that targets lipoprotein(a) say they will move ahead with a pivotal trial following the promising results of a phase II dose-ranging study. The ...

A study published in npj Dementia looks at apolipoprotein E genetic variants of Alzheimer’s disease. Prof Anneke Lucassen, Professor of Genomic Medicine, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of ...

Within the human body there is a gene called apoE, which encodes a protein called apolipoprotein E, that is considered important for brain function. However, a mutation of this molecule is also a ...
