Lipoprotein Analysis: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

Lipoproteins play an important role in maintaining the normal distribution of lipids in the body and in the transport of lipophilic compounds. They are also implicated, however, in some of the major diseases of the Western world including atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. This has lead to a dramatic proliferation of lipoprotein research. This comprehensive volume analyzes the biological activity of lipoproteins. It provides detailed protocols for preparing and separating different lipoproteins, and includes methods for studying their metabolism, activity in different tissues, and interactions with receptors. Lipoprotein Analysis: A Practical Approach is an essential manual for all biomedical scientists studying these compounds including those interested in their role in diseases of the circulatory system.
