Hereditary and dietary effects on apolipoprotein[a] isoforms and Lp[a] in baboons.
Baboons possess Lp[a] that is similar to human Lp[a], including the presence of the unique protein, apo[a].Baboon apo[a] occurred in at least nine isoforms distinguishable by size.Isoforms were resolved by 3-12% polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoretic separation of serum proteins, and were detected with baboon apo[a]-specific antibodies.Thirty
