Abstract

The effect of repeated freezing-defreezing of the serum on the values of high density lipoprotein cholesterol measured by Abel's method was studied. Mixtures for the precipitation of lipoproteins were as follows: heparin + Mn2+, dextran sulfate + Mg2+, phosphotungstic acid + Mg2+, and polyethylene glycol. Variations in the measured cholesterol values were insignificant. Statistically reliable results (p less than 0.05) were obtained only with polyethylene glycol, with the variations not surpassing 3%.

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.
