Lipoproteins were separated from 2.5 μL of individual plasma samples by size-exclusion chromatography using a Superose 6 PC 3.2/30 column (GE Healthcare BioSciences AB). The sephadex column separated the lipoproteins into fractions of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol concentrations were calculated after integration of the individual chromatograms [21 (link), 22 (link)], generated by the enzymatic-colorimetric reaction (Cholesterol CHOD-PAP and TG GPO-PAP kits, Roche Diagnostics).
