Items for "very low-density lipoprotein"
Background: In plasma, triglycerides (TG) are transported in lipoprotein particles (mainly chylomicrons, very low-density and low-density lipoprotein)...

Background: Isolation of different density lipoproteins by ultracentrifugation can require lengthy centrifugation times and freeze/thawing of plasma may influence recovery.
Methods: We isolated a range of lipoproteins using a preparative ultracentrifuge and the TLX micro-ultracentrifuge and determined the effect of freeze/thawing of plasma beforehand.
Results: In fresh plasma, there was no significant difference in results for small-dense low-density lipoprotein apolipoprotein B (LDL apoB) (density >1.044 g/mL) or cholesterol at density >1.006 g/mL...
Keywords: high-density lipoprotein (HDL), lipoproteins, non-HDL cholesterol, small-dense low-density lipoprotein, ultracentrifugation, very low-density lipoprotein
