Fat Transport in Lipoproteins — An Integrated Approach to Mechanisms and Disorders

Abstract

Type II Hyperlipoproteinemia^{159, 192 193 194 195 196} General Definitions. By the Type II lipoprotein pattern we mean an increase in the concentration of lipoproteins that have discrete β mobility by electrophoresis and the normal density and chemical composition of β-migrating lipoproteins. This kind of hyperbeta-lipoproteinemia must be distinguished from another in which the density of the β-migrating lipoproteins is abnormally low, giving rise to a pattern designated as Type III in this system for defining types of hyperlipoproteinemia. The bases for distinguishing the hyperbeta-lipoproteinemia of Types II and III arise from considerable clinical and genetic evidence that they are expressions of different inheritable . . .
