Abstract
The concentrations of serum apolipoproteins A-I and A-II were determined in 64 hyperlipidemic subjects by the method of SRID and rocket immunoelectrophoresis. Further determinations were carried out on the levels of apoprotein B (rocket technique), the concentration of triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.
The concentrations of apo A-I and A-II in the type IV cases were lower than in type II subjects. The A-I and A-II levels were significantly correlated with the levels of HDL cholesterol but not with the levels of triglycerides or total cholesterol.
The concentrations of apo B in the hyperlipidemic subjects were increased markedly and correlated with the levels of total cholesterol but not with the levels of triglycerides.
The concentrations of apo A-I in hyperlipidemic subjects determined by SRID method were correlated with the values obtained by the rocket technique (r=+0.76, n=63), and indicated the validity of the method.
