lipoprotein

Lipoprotein(a) is a low-density lipoprotein variant identified as a risk factor for atherosclerosis and related diseases, such as coronary heart disease and stroke.

Saturated fats are linked to increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is positively associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Quintiles of increasing baseline levels of high-sensitivity CRP, LDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) all predicted 30-year risks.

When there are too many lipoprotein particles than your cells can safely clear, macrophages end up being targeted by the particles.

Finally, the liver is the site of most lipoprotein processing, and LNPs can be designed to take advantage of the existing pathways to get the gene editing mRNA into the hepatocytes.

Even for the same lab chain (say, Quest), you'll get the same biomarker with slightly different names (e.g., Lp(a) vs Lipoprotein(a) vs Lipoprotein a) or units (e.g., cells/uL vs 10^9/L).

Sitting causes a steady decrease in lipoprotein lipase production in your legs.

This study[0] shows that it takes about 4 hours of complete inactivity to see a large decrease in LPL (lipoprotein lipase) in the legs.

Since fat is not water soluble, transporting fat through the blood stream requires packaging it inside a micelle wrapped in phospholipids -- a lipoprotein.

Elevated homocysteine levels increase oxidative stress, may inhibit nitric oxide synthesis, increase vascular endothelial cell damage and accelerate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) deposition in arteries.

Fructose-induced insulin resistant states are commonly characterized by a profound metabolic dyslipidemia, which appears to result from hepatic and intestinal overproduction of atherogenic lipoprotein particles.

There's something else to consider though: lipoprotein lipase.

Although trans fats are edible, consumption of trans fats has shown to increase the risk of coronary heart diseasein part by raising levels of the lipoprotein LDL (so-called "bad cholesterol"), lowering levels of the lipoprotein HDL ("good cholesterol"), increasing triglycerides in the bloodstream and promoting systemic inflammation.
