Role of Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in Atherosclerosis and its Potential as a Therapeutic Target
Elevated Lp-PLA2 is Consistently Associated with Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease Corson et al.Am J Cardiol. 2008;101(suppl):41F-50F. 2 0.5 1 1.5 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5
Lp-PLA2 is greatly up-regulated in high risk coronary artery lesions H&E staining Lp-PLA2 IHC Kolodgie et al Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2006:26:2523
