摘要
Lp-PLA(2) is an enzyme with potentially multiple risks in atherosclerosis. In humans the weight of evidence suggests that it is a positive risk factor for coronary heart disease - an observation commensurate with its position in the direct pathological sequence leading from formation of oxidized LDL in the artery wall to cellular dysfunction and formation of lesions.
