OxPL-apoB1

Optimal Result: 0 - 2 nmol/L.

Oxidized phospholipids are found on all apoB-containing lipoproteins, namely, LDL, VLDL, and especially Lp(a). When taken up by the artery wall, oxidized lipoproteins accelerate atherosclerosis, thereby, increasing the risk of myocardial infarctions, strokes, and calcific aortic valve stenosis. Oxidized phospholipids are highly pro-inflammatory and contribute to many diseases of aging.

Clinicians can use OxPL-apoB levels to reclassify patients into higher or lower risk categories allowing better personalized care.

Optimal: <2.0 nM/L

Borderline: 2.0-3.0 nM/L

Increased Risk: >3.0 nM/L

What does it mean if your OxPL-apoB1 result is too high?

Two- to three-fold increased CVD risk is seen in individuals with an OxPL-apoB value > 7.5 nmol/L as compared to those with values below this threshold.
