Product Specifications
Background
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) also known as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase A2 enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G7 gene. Both LpPLA2 mass and activity were found within low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and HDL pools with more LpPLA2 mass being associated with HDL (54% vs 44%; P-value <.001) and more LpPLA2 activity being associated with LDL (56% vs 40%; P value = .02) . In T1D, more LpPLA2 activity was associated with large- or less-dense LDL compared to those without diabetes. However, no difference in LpPLA2 activity or mass between lipoprotein subfractions was observed between all groups, and there was no relationship between LpPLA2 activity or mass and its distribution and CAC score progression in healthy or T1D men.LpPLA2 is found in both LDL and HDL and is distributed differently in men with T1D without any relationship to CAC score progression.
