ApoB Reduction

Meaning

ApoB Reduction refers to the therapeutic or physiological process of lowering the concentration of Apolipoprotein B in the bloodstream, a key structural protein found on the surface of atherogenic lipoproteins such as LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a). Because each of these potentially harmful particles carries only one ApoB molecule, the ApoB count provides a precise measure of the total number of circulating atherogenic particles. Clinical practice considers a reduction in ApoB levels a direct and powerful strategy for mitigating cardiovascular risk and preventing atherosclerosis progression.
