Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)
ApoA1 is the main protein on HDL particles and supports reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory activity. Higher ApoA1 levels are associated with lower cardiovascular risk, while low ApoA1 tracks with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. ApoA1 is usually interpreted alongside ApoB to assess the balance of protective and atherogenic lipoproteins.

What is Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)?
ApoA1 is the main protein on HDL particles and supports reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory activity. Higher ApoA1 levels are associated with lower cardiovascular risk, while low ApoA1 tracks with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. ApoA1 is usually interpreted alongside ApoB to assess the balance of protective and atherogenic lipoproteins.
Why It Matters
Higher levels are cardioprotective. ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. Reflects HDL particle number and function.
