## Lipoprotein Measurement Methods - Measure physical properties: density, size, charge, apolipoprotein - Methods: ultracentrifugation, electrophoretic separation, chemical precipitation, chromatographic, immunochemical - Know the electrophoresis pattern shown below: ### Lipoprotein Electrophoresis | Region | Lipoprotein | |---|---| | Origin | Chylomicron | | | LDL (B-Lipoprotein) | | | VLDL (Pre B-Lipoprotein) | | Mobility | HDL (a-Lipoprotein) | _The image shows a vertical electrophoresis gel with bands at different positions representing the different lipoproteins. The arrow indicates the direction of electrophoretic mobility, which is towards the anode (`+`)._
