Preβ1-High-Density Lipoprotein in Cardiovascular Diseases.

Serum pre beta 1-high-density lipoprotein (pre beta 1-HDL) was defined by two-dimensional non-denaturing linear gel electrophoresis and apolipoprotein A-I immunoblotting. However, there are still debatable questions for its quantification and coronary artery disease (CAD) relevance. We have established a novel and simple method for human serum pre beta 1-HDL quantification. We found that human lower pre beta 1-HDL is an independent predictor for severer coronary artery stenosis. In this chapter, we will discuss all these.
