Abstract

Eleven serotype A encapsulated and nonencapsulated strains of Pasteurella multocida were examined with regard to lipoprotein content. Relative amounts of an approximately 40-kDa lipoprotein (Plp-40) were found to correlate directly with the degree of encapsulation in that heavily encapsulated strains exhibited the greatest amounts, while nonencapsulated strains possessed little or no Plp-40.

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.
