High density lipoproteins and reverse cholesterol transport: lessons from mutations.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Apr 1998

von Eckardstein A, Assmann G

Abstract excerpt

High density lipoproteins (HDL) encompass structurally and functionally heterogeneous particles. Two-dimensional nondenaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGGE) and subsequent immunoblotting helps to differentiate quantitatively minor HDL-subclasses from the bulk of HDL, whic...
