Protein fractions of 270, 190, 135 and 100 kDa were found to be
apolipoprotein B, alphs-2-macroglobulin, ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulin heavy chain respectively.
Corresponding values for
apolipoprotein B were 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, and 6 mg/dL in individuals without diabetes, respectively, and 17, 16, 16, 16, 17, 18, 24, and 26 mg/dL in individuals with diabetes, respectively.
Using multivariate prediction models adjusting for nonlipid risk factors, the
apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I ratio was comparable with other standard lipid level ratios (eg, total cholesterol to HDL) in predicting CHD, but adding the test did not add additional predictive utility.

Plasma LDL, high-density lipoprotein (HDLe, [HCL.sup.2.C], apolipoprotein A-I and
apolipoprotein B levels were measured at the end of each period.
Plasma low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and
apolipoprotein B concentrations increased significantly (0.12 +/- 0.65 mmol/L, P less than 0.025; 0.06 +/- 0.12 g/L, P less than 0.0004, respectively) in the group that changed to decaffeinated coffee.
Others have proposed adding measures of
apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I, lipoprotein (a), or lipoprotein-associated phospholipase [A.sub.2] to the current risk prediction formulas to improve risk prediction.
The most pertinent results in the comparison were the significant increase in
apolipoprotein B, Ceruloplasmin, apolipoprotein A-I and transthyretin in the sera of patients of CMP compared to healthy subjects.
Apolipoprotein B (apoB), a large amphipathic glycoprotein, plays a central role in human lipoprotein metabolism (2).
