Why the study?
Are Lp(a) plasma levels associated with the development of T2DM or changes in ex vivo clot structure in women?

Lp(a) was not associated with diabetes risk in this cohort; the observed clot structure changes leave open a mechanistic link to atherothrombosis requiring prospective validation.
Are Lp(a) plasma levels associated with the development of T2DM or changes in ex vivo clot structure in women?
Lp(a) does not appear to influence the development of type 2 diabetes but alters ex vivo clot structure, which may contribute to its atherothrombotic risk profile.
Månsson et al. (2014) studied this question.
