The serum lipoproteins were separated into ultra-watersoluble (UWS) and non-watersoluble (Non-WS) lipoproteins by 72 hours flowing water dialysis.
This paper was studied on the method of fractionation of UWS-Lp and Non-WS-Lp, and the significances of those lipo-proteins in stroke.
The subjects are 19 cases with cerebral thrombosis (CT), 6 cases with cerebral haemorrhage (CH) and 10 healthy persons (controls).
There were no obvious differences in serum total cholesterol and total triglyceride levels between controls and stroke patients.
But UWS-Lp-cholesterol levels in CH are higher than those in CT, and Non-WS-Lp-cholesterol levels in CT were higher than those in CH and controls.
Although there were no differences among three groups in UWS-Lp-triglyceride levels, Non-WS-Lp-triglyceride levels in stroke were higher than those in controls.
The serum total binding hexose levels in stroke are higher than those in controls. Those high levels were caused by high levels with Non-WS-binding hexose without UWS-binding hexose.
It is useful for studying lipid metabolism in stroke to separate serum lipoprotein into two kinds of UWS-lipoprotein and Non-WS-lipoprotein.
