- Effect of lipoprotein (a) on platelet activation induced by platelet-activ ating factor: role of apolipoprotein (a) and endogenous PAF-acetylhydr olase -- Tsironis et al. 63 (1): 130 -- Cardiovascular Research: Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is considered an atherogenic lipoprotein, which is also implicated in thrombosis. Lp(a) binds to platelets and modulates the effects of various platelet agonists. Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a potent platelet agonist degraded and inactivated by PAF-acetylhydr olase (PAF-AH), which in plasma is associated with lipoproteins.
