| Popis: | BackgroundIncreased triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and decreased HDL that are implicated in the progression of atherosclerotic vascular diseases, are present in serum samples of patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Therefore, it is important to measure serum TG-rich lipoprotein concentrations to prevent the diseases.MethodsThe cholesterol concentrations of lipoprotein classes in serum samples from the HD patients ( n = 18) and healthy subjects ( n = 18) were analysed by our recently developed method of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), in which the lipoprotein classes were separated using an anion-exchange column, and the cholesterol concentrations of each of those were measured enzymatically using a post-column reaction. The ability of fractionated lipoprotein cholesterol determination by this HPLC method is mostly equivalent to the determination ability of an ultracentrifugation (UC).ResultsHDL, LDL, and TG-rich lipoproteins, i.e. IDL, VLDL and chylomicrons, were well separated in the chromatograms. HDL cholesterol concentrations in the HD patients were significantly lower than in the healthy subjects ( P < 0.0001), and IDL cholesterol concentrations and VLDL cholesterol concentrations in the HD patients were significantly higher than in the healthy subjects ( P < 0.05). Profiles of these measured lipoprotein values were consistent with the previously reported lipoprotein values, measured ultracentrifugally characteristic of HD patients.ConclusionThese results suggest that the HPLC method may be sufficiently applied to the assessment of serum lipoprotein profile in HD patients in place of the other method including an UC. |
