ABSTRACT
The human plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is secreted, by the mature macrophages and lymphocytes, which predominantly binds to low-density lipoprotein. Studies in recent years have demonstrated that Lp-PLA2 plays an important role in the process of atherogenesis. Its gene polymorphisms are associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke, and its specific inhibitor has anti-atherogenic effects. Lp-PLA2 may be a novel independent risk factor and a therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
