Plasma apolipoprotein A levels in healthy human adults.
The apolipoprotein A concentration in the plasma of ten healthy human subjects was measured immunologically on three occasions at monthly intervals and the following results recorded. 1. There was no difference between fasting and non-fasting apoprotein A concentrations. 2. Apoliportein A levels were higher in females than in males (p less than 0.001). 3. The correlation coefficient calculated for high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A was 0.62. 4. The apoprotein values varied widely between subjects and ther were considerable concentration differences from month to month in the plasma of each individual.
