Description
Background: Lipoproteins transport the majority of plasma lipids including cholesterol and triglycerides. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) are the lipoproteins responsible for the vast majority of cholesterol transport in the blood. High LDL levels and low HDL levels are strongly associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. In this kit, serum HDL and LDL/VLDL are first separated and then the cholesterol concentration of each is determined by a coupled enzyme assay. The products can be measured at a colorimetric readout at 550 nm
