Future studies should provide a better understanding of oxidized phospholipid adducts and the role played by lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 for which cleavage specificity has been established when these modified lipids are in a free form.enPlasminogenApolipoprotein(a)Lipoprotein(a)Oxidized PhospholipidsOxidized PhosphatidylcholinesArticle
