What is it about?

Small, dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol has been linked to the progression of cardiovascular disease. We compared two methods for determination of sdLDL-C, a direct enzymatic method which measures a broader range of atherogenic lipoprotein particles than polyacrylamide tube gel electrophoresis assay.

Why is it important?

The enzymatic assay for sdLDL-C correlated well with the polyacrylamide tube gel electrophoresis method and has the potential to identify subjects with vascular risk, thus contributing in directing specific interventions for cardiovascular prevention.
