title: Vitamin E and lipoproteins in hyperlipoproteinemia.
abstract: The composition of vitamin E in serum and lipoproteins was determined in type I, IIa, IIb, IV and IV hyperlipoproteinemia and in normal subjects. Vitamin E was not specifically associated with any one of the lipoproteins but increased vitamin E levels were observed in VLDL when triacylglycerols level was increased (types IIb and IV); the same observations were noted in LDL when cholesterol level was increased (type IIa).
