Serum Phospholipids

Serum Phospholipids

Serum phospholipid levels were determined in 1,067 healthy persons aged 2 to 77 years. Phospholipid levels increased with age but in a different way for each of the sexes. The age-sex changes of serum phospholipids were similar to those observed for serum cholesterol. Correlation coefficients in members of 156 families indicated that the genetic factor is of importance in determining the serum ...

Serum phospholipids determined without acid digestion.

A method for determination of phospholipids in serum is described that involves complexing intact phospholipids with chromogenic reagent, thus eliminating the need for acid digestion, which is a mandatory step in all the current procedures for phospholipid analysis. Inorganic phosphorus and other serum components do not interfere in the determination. Excellent agreement between results of this...

The Stabilization of Serum Lipid Emulsions by Serum Phospholipids

Clarity of high lipid sera is closely correlated with elevated proportions of serum phospholipids, and lipemia (milkiness) with low proportions of phospholipids. Clear high lipid sera occur uniquely in obstructive jaundice, both intra- and extrahepatic in origin. Destruction of the polar nature of serum "lecithin" by enzymatic hydrolysis, using Cl. welchii lecithinase, results in a degree of li...

Serum phospholipids: genetic and environmental influences.

Serum phospholipid levels were determined in 1,067 healthy persons aged 2 to 77 years. Phospholipid levels increased with age but in a different way for each of the sexes. The age-sex changes of serum phospholipids were similar to those observed for serum cholesterol.
