Abstract:The major classes of plasma lipoprotein, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), are characterized on the basis of differences in density and charge ( Table 1 ). Centrifugation is the 'gold-standard' for the analysis of plasma lipo-protein classes and beta quantitation, and other analytical procedures (1-4). Lipoprotein classes are separated by flotation of plasma or serum in a series of centrifugation steps in which the density of the plasma i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
