| Research Abstract |
It is known that HDL are heterogeneous in particle size and small HDL particle can promote more effectively cholesterol efflux from cell membrane than large HDL particle. Small HDL are detected by two-dimentional gel electrophoresis, but this method is time consuming. Lipid-free apo A-I in this study was separated by HPLC and was elutred from 51 min to 56 min. The epitope of lipid-free apo A-I is the same as tjhat of a HDL, because we used the antibody to apo A-I in the ELISA system. We added SOU/ml of trasyrol to blood and also to 500 μ1 of fractionated solutions by HPLC. Serum lipid-free apo A-I concentration increased two times by repeated freeze and thawing test and changed with time even in the store at 4℃. Thus, serum sample was immediately treated for HPLC or freezed at -80℃ until use.
Serum lipid-free apo A-I concentrations significantly increased in patients with coronary heart disease compared to healthy controls in both males and females. These findings show that reverse cholesterol transport is altered in coronary heat disease and the measurement of lipid-free apo A-I may be a good marker for atherosclerosis.
