Lipoproteins and apolipoproteins

VLDL

Very-low-density lipoprotein, the main carrier of endogenous triglycerides from the liver; characterised by its cholesterol, triglycerides, particle number (total and by size subclass) and mean diameter.

Application contexts

  • Cardiometabolic health

Matrices

  • Serum or plasma

Related techniques

  • ¹H-NMR
  • Ultracentrifugation

Reported parameters

Each parameter is quantified by ¹H-NMR in serum or plasma and appears in the report with this code and unit.
