AIMS Families with 10-12-year-old schoolchildren were informed about and asked to participate in a study to identify children with hyperlipoproteinemia. We hypothesised that children and families with familial blood lipid abnormalities, specifically those with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), could be identified by the child's apolipoprotein B leve...

Cholesteryl ester-rich beta-very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) are beta-migrating lipoproteins that accumulate in the d < 1.006 g/ml fraction of plasma from cholesterol-fed animals and from patients with Type III hyperlipoproteinemia. They can be separated from pre-beta-migrating very low density lipoproteins in the d 1.006 g/ml fraction by Geon-Pevikon block electrophoresis. The beta-VL...
