Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in plasma lipoprotein subclass distribution affect the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, it is unclear whether the determination of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) phenotypes may or may not improve the ability to predict CAD development. METHODS: Polyacrylamide gradient (3-31%) gel electrophoresis was used to simultaneously determine size and...
