Seven hundred fifty mg of cholesterol were fed daily to 32 patients of the ischemic heart disease (IHD) for 2 weeks. Cholesterol amounts in VLDL, LDL, HDL, HDL
2 and HDL
3 were estimated on the 0th, 7th and 14th days of cholesterol load. Plasma apoprotein A-I, A-II,
B
,
C
-II,
E
levels were also measured in 16 from 32 IHD subjects. Apoprotein levels were estimated by a method of single radial immunodiffusion (SRID). Before cholesterol administration, cholesterol amounts in VLDL, LDL, HDL, HDL
2 and HDL
3 were 15.

After 2 weeks' cholesterol feeding, all plasma lipoprotein cholesterol and apoprotein levels did not change significantly. Correlation coefficients between plasma apoprotein and lipoprotein cholesterol levels were calculated. Apoprotein A-I and A-II correlated with HDL-
C
(r=0.348), HDL
2-
C
(r=0.612) and HDL
3 (r=0.569). Apoprotein
B
correlated with total cholesterol (TC) (r=0.610), VLDL-

(r=0.341), LDL-
C
(r=0.726), HDL-
C
(r=0.432) and HDL

(r=0.465). Apoprotein
C

(r=0.651), LDL-

(r=0.461) and HDL

(r=0.326). Apoprotein
E
correlated with TC (r=0.580), TG (r=0.575) and VLDL-
C
(r=0.666). Interapoprotein's correlations were also calculated. Apoprotein A-I correlated with apoprotein A-II (r=0.468). Apoprotein
B
correlated with apoprotein
C
-II (r=0.393). Apoprotein
C
-II correlated with apoprotein
B
(r=0.393) and
E
(r=0.549). Apoprotein
E
only correlated with apoprotein
C
-II (r=0.549).
