Apolipoprotein Evaluation (Apolipoprotein A1 & B)

Apolipoproteins are proteins that bind to lipids (fats) to form lipoproteins, which transport cholesterol and other fats through the bloodstream.

Apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1) is the primary protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, while Apolipoprotein B (apo B) is the primary protein component of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol.

Evaluating levels of these apolipoproteins can provide insights into an individual's risk of cardiovascular disease.
