Beta-lipoprotein cholesterol quantitation with polycations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compared direct determination of beta-lipoprotein cholesterol after selective extraction of very-low-density and high-density lipoproteins from serum with poly(ethyleneimine) and a cation-exchange resin with the classical quantitation after lipoprotein fractionation with the ultracentrifuge. At beta-lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations between 1.50 and 5.00 g/liter the correlation is linear (r = 0.95). The precision for the extraction procedure is as good (CV 2.4-2.8%) as for the quantitation by ultracentrifugation (CV 3.2-6.0%). From solutions of isolated lipoproteins, very-low-density lipoproteins are 93% extracted and high-density lipoproteins 60%, but low-density-lipoproteins only 5%. The molecular mechanism of the extraction is supposed to be due to both hydrophobic interaction of long-chain fatty acid residues and ionic interaction of phospholipids located at the surface of very low-density and high-density lipoproteins and the lipophilic polycation.

Improved direct determination of serum cholesterol in low-density lipoproteins with use of polycations.
The previously described procedure of direct determination of LDL-cholesterol after selective extraction of VLDL and HDL with polycations and a polycation-exchange resin has been improved by using dodecoylated poly(ethyleneimine) instead of poly(ethyleneimine). The acyl derivative has a higher affinity for lipoproteins. Disc-electrophoretic patterns of lipoproteins separated by this procedure c...
متن کاملNew method for isolating and quantifying intermediate and beta-very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
We describe a new method, useful to clinical laboratories, for assessing intermediate density (IDL) or beta-very-low-density (beta-VLDL) lipoprotein cholesterol. The technique involves selective precipitation properties of the qualitative Wieland and Seidel post-electrophoretic method that immobilizes IDL and beta-VLDL in the beta-zone of an agarose slide (Clin Chem 1973;19:1139-41). In our met...
متن کاملImproved method for enzymic determination of cholesterol in lipoproteins separated by electrophoresis on thin layer agarose gels.
The cholesterol of lipoproteins, separated electrophoretically on thin layer agarose films, is visualised and quantitated by incubating the gels in an enzymic reagent containing cholesterol esterase and cholesterol dehydrogenase. The individual fractions are quantitated by scanning densitometry. No sample pretreatment is necessary. All major fractions are detected readily. The accuracy of the d...
متن کاملPerformance of a direct LDL-cholesterol method compared to beta quantification
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is currently estimated by clinical laboratories using the Friedewald formula which requires fasting specimens and is subject to error with increasing uiglyceride levels. We describe a rapid method for isolating low-density lipoproteins by immunoseparation for subsequent measurement of cholesterol by enzymatic assay. The Direct LDLTM Immunoseparation Reagent m...
متن کاملDetermination of triglycerides in lipoproteins separated by agarose gel electrophoresis.
We developed a simple method for the quantitation of triglycerides in electrophoretically separated lipoproteins by specific enzymatic staining. After electrophoresis, glycerol is liberated from triglycerides by the action of cholesterol esterase. Glycerol is oxidized by a sequence of enzymatic reactions. Due to the presence of triosephosphate isomerase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogen...
