Focus on Apo B Levels for Atherosclerosis Prevention
High levels of lipoprotein alone are not the only risk factor for atherosclerosis; biomarkers such as fibrinogen and seratoprotein are also linked to higher risk. Increase in easily oxidized substances can lead to a more oxidative environment, exacerbating cardiovascular disease development. It is crucial to focus on Apo B levels and the Apo B to Apo A1 ratio, rather than solely on LDL cholesterol, to effectively assess the risk of atherosclerosis.
