METHOD FOR DIRECTLY DETERMINING THE LIPID CONTENT OF THE (BETA) LIPOPROTEINS OF THE BLOOD

摘要

Method of direct determination of beta-lipoproteins in a blood sample containing pre-beta-lipoprotein, (VLDL) alpha-lipoprotein (HDL), and beta-lipoprotein (LDL), comprising mixing the blood plasma or serum of the blood sample with a solid, water-insoluble anion exchanger operable to retain the pre-beta-lipoprotein (VLDL) and the alpha-lipoprotein (HDL) to remove them from solution, separating the blood plasma or serum from the anion exchanger and thereafter determining the amount of beta-lipoprotein (LDL) remaining in solution.
