[HTML][HTML] Composition and ultrastructure of size subclasses of normal human peripheral lymph lipoproteins: quantification of cholesterol uptake by HDL in tissue fluids

MN Nanjee, CJ Cooke, JS Wong, RL Hamilton… - Journal of lipid …, 2001 - ASBMB
Peripheral lymph lipoproteins have been characterized in animals, but there is little
information about their composition, and none about their ultrastructure, in normal humans.
Therefore, we collected afferent leg lymph from 16 healthy males and quantified lipids and
apolipoproteins in fractions separated by high performance-size exclusion chromatography.
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) was found almost exclusively in low density lipoproteins. The
distribution of apoA-I, particularly in lipoprotein AI (LpA-I) without A-II particles, was shifted …
