LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLE NUMBER FROM MEASUREMENTS OF LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLE PHOSPHOLIPID CONCENTRATION IN LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLE MEMBRANE BILAYER

摘要

This application describes a method for measuring the molar concentrations of lipoprotein particles and lipoprotein subclass particles in bodily fluid by Multipixel Capillary Isotachophoresis Laser Induced Fluorescence (MPCE-ITP-LIF) and compositional analysis of spherical lipoprotein particles. The ability to measure several kinds of lipoproteins and particles in one unified system provides a useful diagnostic tool for predicting the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cardiodiabetes.
