You did not measure OxPL in your Lp(a) prep, thus cant claim your findings are due to OxPL. Oxidizing with glucose oxidase and MPO likely creates a large number of species that could explain your results. t would be good to tease those out in future studies. 4.4K views · 23 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Statins raise Lp(a), and because it carries OxPL, the OxPL-apoB rises (note the OxPL-apoB is not a measure of "total OxPL"). Statins lower the # of LDL particles substantially, more ta increase in Lp(a)/OxPL, thus the net benefit is present. In SPARCL it was baseline OxPL, not 12K views · 74 likes · 11 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →

Does native Lp(a) provide an evolutionary benefit and possess important physiological functions? Substantial evidence suggests that OxPL carried by Lp(a) is a major driver of Lp(a) pathogenicity---and OxPL burden is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than Lp(a) https://

Yes, this can't be studied in patients, but in experimental models, it suggests OxPL exit tissue before there is physical regression when switching from high fat to low fat diet. See our 2007 paper. https://t.co/gsAAQCASMy https://t.co/YXCTHJTcex

@Lpa_Doc @JACCJournals @OxPL_apoB But you would expect oxPL-apoB to be drastically reduced with pelacarsen as well, right? But the real question is what happens in the tissues! 1.1K views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

For those interested in the Saturday Morning Lp(a) Class, the course is now linked to my bio and is open access. Big thanks to @TheBhupiThakur for organizing the twittorials. It is ~500 tweets in 24 classes. Syllabus enclosed. I wish to all the joy of learning. https://t.co/iOFHB
