title: [Analysis of lipoproteins].
abstract: Most of serum lipids are transported in lipoprotein particles, such as chylomicron, VLDL, IDL and HDL. These lipoprotein fractions were classified according to density distribution by analytical ultracentrifugation. LDL-C and HDL-C are generally determined by precipitation method or homogeneous method as a most basic lipoprotein analysis. In order to diagnose the hyperlipidemia, electrophoretic method (agarose or polyacrylamide) is used. More detailed analysis of lipoprotein is examined by ultracentrifugation and high performance liquid chromatography.
