title: Determination of cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations in high-density lipoproteins by heparin-manganese chloride precipitation.
abstract: Cholesterol as well as phospholipids in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) have been measured in 60 serum samples after heparin-manganese chloride precipitation of the apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins. The values obtained correlated well with values from ultracentrifugal separation (slope 1.11 for cholesterol, 0.92 for phospholipids). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol estimated by the formula of Friedewald et al. and the ultracentrifugally separated LDL cholesterol (slope 1.02). By the additional determination of HDL phospholipids with a precipitation procedure, further information about the "antiatherogenic" is easily available.
