The Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A-I Ratio as a Potential Marker of Plasma Atherogenicity

This 2015 study by Kaneva et al. assessed the apoB/apoA-I ratio as a marker of plasma atherogenicity in 157 normolipidemic men aged 20–59. Despite normal lipid profiles, 19.1% had apoB/apoA-I ratios exceeding 0.9, indicating elevated cardiovascular risk. These individuals exhibited higher triglyceride levels, increased atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lower

Fasting insulin and apolipoprotein B levels and low-density lipoprotein particle size as risk factors for ischemic heart disease

This nested case-control study in men from the Quebec Cardiovascular Study identified fasting plasma insulin levels, apolipoprotein B, and small, dense LDL particles as significant independent risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD), with an odds ratio of 5.9 (95% CI, 2.3-15.4). The findings suggest that these nontraditional metabolic markers,
