Turnover studies of Lp(a) in humans: Labelled and purified Lp(a) was injected into nine healthy probands with Lp(a) concentrations ranging from 5–84 mg/dL, and the decay over time was followed. As can be seen, the rate of Lp(a) biosynthesis, and not the fractional catabolic rate, correlates significantly with the plasma concentration [16].
