Lipoprotein A and B by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

A lipoprotein is a molecule that contains both proteins and lipids. Many enzymes, transporters, structural proteins, antigens, and toxins are lipoproteins. Examples include the high density and low density lipoproteins of the blood. Dietary and lifestyle factors that lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels will also lower lipoprotein a levels.
