A Method for Lipoprotein Separation by Electrophoresis on Cellulose Acetate

Abstract

A method for electrophoretic analysis of lipoproteins on cellulose acetate is descreibed. This method provides improved resolutions of lipoproteins. Eighty-eight samples of serum which had high triglyceride value (more than 120mg/dl) were analysed. The results were as follows; pre-β (+) 69, (-) 19, chylomicron (++) 7, (+) 16, (±) 19, (-) 46.
It was concluded that this method is valuable for differentiating the genesis of hypertriglyceridemia, i. e., endogenous (hyper-pre-β) or exogenous (hyper- chylomicron).
