Homocysteine and other sulfhydryl compounds enhance the binding of lipoprotein(a) to fibrin: a potential biochemical link between thrombosis, atherogenesis, and sulfhydryl compound metabolism.
We have previously shown that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an atherogenic lipoprotein that contains apolipoprotein(a), which shares partial structural homology to plasminogen, binds to a plasmin-modified fibrin surface, and we have postulated that this interaction may be atherogenic. Moderate elevations...
