Abstract
To the Editor: Major subfractions of human serum high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), HDL2 (density, 1.063 to 1.125), and HDL3 (density, 1.125 to 1.210), have been thought to be derived from different metabolic pathways. The precursors of HDL3 are secreted from the liver or the small intestine, whereas those of HDL2 are produced from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during hydrolytic catabolic processes.We measured the levels of HDL2 and HDL3 cholesterols in patients with cirrhosis of the liver and in normal control subjects by high-performance liquid chromatography.* The gel-permeation-type columns, one Model G5000PW and two Models G3000SW (Toyo . . .Keywords
