Lipoproteins Defined
Particles consisting of a fatty core and a protein surround to allow transport of fat in the blood stream. Lipoprotein A is a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein, which resembles LDL cholesterol and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It has proven resistant to drug treatment and does not appear to be decreased by estrogen-containing ovarian hormone therapy (OHT).
