Lp(a) oxidation linked to apo-B enrichment and reduced by EPA

Lp(a)-enriched plasma undergoes increasingly rapid oxidation at elevated levels, with oxidation inhibited by eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), irrespective of enrichment level. These are the findings from a study investigating lipid oxidation rates in increasingly enriched Lp(a) plasma and the potential antioxidant activity of EPA.
