Association of apolipoprotein M with high-density lipoprotein kinetics in overweight-obese men.

The aim of this study was to investigate associations between plasma apoM concentration and HDL apoA-I and apoA-II kinetics in 60 overweight-obese, insulin resistant men. ⋯ ApoM may be a significant, independent predictor of HDL apoA-I and apoA-II catabolism in overweight-obese, insulin resistant men.

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2), inflammatory biomarkers, and risk of cardiovascular disease in the Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER).

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is an inflammatory biomarker that circulates mainly bound to LDL. We evaluated the association of Lp-PLA(2) with vascular events in the elderly where the importance of LDL is diminished as a risk factor for coronary disease. ⋯ In elderly people Lp-PLA(2), alongside other inflammatory indices, is a potential biomarker for vascular events, particularly CHD.
