摘要:
Disclosed is a method for performing separation/determination of a small, dense LDL rapidly in a simple manner without the need of any pre-treatment of a sample, which is applicable to an automatic analyzer. A method for quantification of a small, dense LDL cholesterol comprising the steps of mixing an enzyme for determination of cholesterol with a sample in the presence of a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer or a derivative thereof to allow the copolymer or derivative to react with the small, dense LDL selectively, among other lipoproteins, and determining the amount of cholesterol produced by the reaction.
摘要:
A method for quantitating a specific component in lipoproteins contained in a biological sample, for example, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) by using a commonly employed automatic analyzer without centrifuging or making the reaction liquor cloudy due to complexes or aggregates. Namely, a controlling means, whereby an enzyme reaction can be carried out exclusively for the target component, is introduced into a method for enzymatically assaying a component in a specific lipoprotein fraction in the serum, thereby specifically assaying the component.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide the method for determining cholesterol in lipoprotein and reagent for determining cholesterol comprising the polymer, and the present invention relates to the reagent for determining cholesterol in lipoproteins such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein(LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein(VLDL) and the determination method using the polymer comprising the following units as constituents: (iv) a polyethylene glycol segment represented by the general formula [1]:
(CH 2 CH 2 O)k- [1]
(wherein, k represents an integer of 10 to 250); (v) a monomer unit represented by the general formula [2]:
(wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or C 1 -C 3 alkyl group); and (vi) a monomer unit represented by the general formula [3]:
[wherein, R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or C 1 -C 3 alkyl group, and R 3 represents a group represented by the general formula [4]:
-COOR 4 [4]
(wherein, R 4 represents an alkyl group, a haloalkyl group or a bornyl group), an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyl group or an alkylcarbamoyl group; particularly, in the direct measurement of cholesterols such as HDL, LDL and VLDL contained in the sample, the reagent for determining cholesterol in the presence of said polymer, and the method for determining the concentration of cholesterol in a specific lipoprotein using said reagent for determining cholesterol, and a novel polymer.
摘要:
The present invention provides human, rat and mouse NPCIL1 polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. Methods for detecting ligands which bind to NPClL1 and block intestinal cholesterol absorption are provided. Also included is a method of identifying ligands which bind to NPCILI using membranes derived from brush border membrane preparations. Compounds that bind to NPCILI can be used for inhibiting intestinal cholesterol absorption in a subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of selecting plants having modified transpiration efficiency using plant ERECTA gene sequences and nucleic acids linked thereto, and to methods of producing plants having modified transpiration efficiency using isolated plant ERECTA gene sequences, in both traditional plant breeding and genetic engineering approaches. The invention further extends to plants produced by the methods described.
摘要:
A method of selectively assaying components (in particular, cholesterol) in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) which is one of serum lipoproteins. In this assay, an enzyme reaction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) or cholesterol esterase (CE), which are enzymes reacting well with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and VLDL, is carried out in the presence of calixalene or its salt optionally together with one or more substances selected from among albumin and basic amino acids.
摘要:
A method for quantitatively determining cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein in a sample, which comprises: reacting a sample with i) cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase or ii) cholesterol esterase, an oxidized coenzyme and cholesterol dehydrogenase in an aqueous medium comprising i) nonionic surfactant, polyanion and albumin or ii) a combination of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkylamine or polyoxyethylene alkenylamine and a surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene polycyclic phenyl ether sulfate and an anionic bile acid derivative, and measuring the formed hydrogen peroxide or a reduced coenzyme; and a reagent used therefor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to biochemical methods for determining reverse cholesterol transport. Specifically, the rates of the two arms of reverse cholesterol transport (HDL or first arm and post-HDL or second arm) are obtained by measuring the flow of unlabeled cholesterol from tissues into plasma HDL and from plasma HDL to bile acids.
