Introduction: Elevated serum apolipoprotein B and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio have been associated with ischemic stroke and intracranial atherosclerotic disease. We sought to assess the relationship between serum levels of apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio with ischemic stroke subtypes and large artery atherosclerosis location. Materials and Methods: We evaluated serum apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A1 levels in consecutive, statin-naive, adult ischemic stroke patients admitted to an academic medical center in southern India. We evaluated for differences in the mean serum levels of apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio between patients with ischemic stroke attributed to intracranial atherosclerotic disease, extracranial atherosclerotic disease, small vessel disease, and cardioembolism. In secondary analysis, we assessed for differences in these serum apolipoproteins between patients with moderate-severe intracranial atherosclerotic disease and extracranial atherosclerotic disease, irrespective of ischemic stroke subtype. Results: Among the 156 ischemic stroke patients enrolled in this study, there were no significant differences in serum levels of apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, and the apolipoprotein B /Al ratio between patients with distinct ischemic stroke subtypes. No significant differences were found in serum levels of apolipoprotein B, A1 and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio between patients with moderate-severe intracranial atherosclerotic disease and moderate-severe extracranial atherosclerotic disease. Discussion: Serum levels of apolipoprotein B and A1 did not differ between ischemic stroke subtypes. Additional studies are needed to validate our findings and to better understand the relationship between serum apolipoproteins and stroke.
