Abstract
The chemical and physical properties of very low density lipoproteins, isolated from the pool of the sera of 60 persons with high pre-beta and normal triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations, have been studied. These very low density lipoproteins, a designated as triglyceride-poor very low density lipoproteins, consist of 20.5% phospholipids, 30.8% free cholesterol, 15% cholesterol esters and 33.7% triglycerides. Their protein content consists of 54.5% apo B, 26% apo A, 11.5% apo E and only 8% apo C, so they differ from any serum lipoprotein described until now. Triglyceride-poor very low density lipoproteins consist of spherical particles 300-450 A in diameter as revealed by electron microscopy.
