20130230873 | METHOD FOR QUANTIFICATION OF REMNANT-LIKE LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL AND KIT FOR SAME - A method for quantifying remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol in a sample simply and accurately without requiring separation operations, and a kit therefor are disclosed. A method for quantifying cholesterol in a remnant-like lipoprotein in a sample containing different lipoproteins including the remnant-like lipoprotein comprises a step (1) of erasing cholesterol in lipoproteins other than the remnant-like lipoprotein; and a step (2) of quantifying cholesterol in the remaining remnant-like lipoprotein. The step (1) is carried out under an action of a cholesterol esterase having a molecular weight of more than 40 kDa and not having a subunit having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa; and the step (2) is carried out under an action of a cholesterol esterase having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa or a cholesterol esterase having a subunit having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa. | 09-05-2013 |
20150044774 | METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING CHOLESTEROL IN HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN 3 - Disclosed is the provision of a method for quantifying HDL3 in a test sample without requiring a laborious operation. The method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein 3 comprises allowing a surfactant(s) which specifically react(s) with a high-density lipoprotein 3 to react with a test sample and quantifying cholesterol, and the surfactant(s) is(are) at least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene polycyclic phenyl ether and polyoxyethylene styrenated phenyl ether. | 02-12-2015 |
