Abstract

We observed nonenzymic peaks when serum isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27; LD) and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2.; CK) were separated by "high-performance" liquid chromatography and detected by continuously monitoring the column effluent for enzyme activity. Such background peaks were particularly apparent in CK isoenzyme profiles obtained from human sera. We observed two nonenzymic peaks with fluorescence detection, one in the CK-MB region, the other in the CK-BB region. Serum albumin was a major component in the artifactual CK-MB peak, with lipoprotein as a minor component. We present evidence that the material responsible for the other peak fluoresced quite strongly and is mostly pre-albumin.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
