APOB and malaria: We verified the changes observed in lipid metabolism proteins by measuring Apo-AI and Apo-B concentrations (representing HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol respectively) by ELISA in a larger group of samples collected from malaria-infected and uninfected primigravidae and multigravidae with and without SA (primigravidae n = 150; multigravidae n = 145).
