Why the study?
Does Lipoprotein(a) induce monocyte chemotactic activity in human vascular endothelial cells?
Does Lipoprotein(a) induce monocyte chemotactic activity in human vascular endothelial cells?
Lp(a) and its apolipoprotein(a) component induce monocyte chemotactic activity in human vascular endothelial cells, providing a potential mechanism for Lp(a)'s role in atherogenesis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support Lp(a) atherogenicity via endothelial inflammation; hypothesis-generating and requires in vivo confirmation before clinical relevance.
Poon et al. (1997) studied this question.
