Serum lipoprotein (a) levels were higher in patients with retinopathy than in individuals without retinopathy. Increased serum lipoprotein (a) levels correlated with higher degrees of retinopathy. Thus, lipoprotein (a) may play a role in the development of diabetic retinopathy.EnglishIMPROVED GLYCEMIC CONTROLCORONARY HEART-DISEASEPLASMA-LIPIDSMELLITUSADOLESCENTSCHILDRENCOMPLICATIONSCHOLESTEROLFRAMINGHAMIDDMArticle
