Quantitation of the -lipoprotein complex by agarose gel electrophoresis

Plasma lipids and lipoproteins in young patients with brain infarction

Thirty-two patients aged 60 or less with brain infarction were examined with regard to possible changes in lipoprotein pattern as compared with a reference group. Except for a lower concentration of total lipids, cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins in the female patients, no difference was demonstrated in the two groups. In all patients a significant reduction in total lipids, cholesterol, triglyceride and all lipoproteins was demonstrated after the acute cerebrovascular accident presumedly due to the stress situation.

Studies on the pre-alpha-lipoprotein of human serum. I. characterization of an albumin-containing lipoprotein

In this study an albumin-containing lipoprotein is isolated by column affinity chromatography and electrophoresis. Its electrophoretic mobility is faster than that of albumin in agarose gel. Immunologically it reacts with anti-albumin and anti-apolipoprotein-A-I. No reaction is obtained against antibodies to any of the other previously known lipoportein families: Apo-AII, Apo-B, Lp(a), Apo-C, LpX, Apo-D or Apo-E ('the arginine rich peptide'). It differs from purified albumin in having higher amounts of glycine, serine and glutamic acid. Moreover, the molecular weight is estimated to 80,000 as compared to 67,000 for albumin.
