Abstract
Among several approaches to the early detection of atherogenesis — related risk indicators, one is the screening of pediatric populations (1). Procedures adequate for this purpose, should be simple and precise, yet inexpensive and applicable to the examination of large groups of children outside the clinic. As the blood lipids and lipoproteins (LPs) have been found to play a key role in atherogenesis, assay of these metabolites is certainly meaningful. In order to meet these requirements, we have developed new micromethods which have proved to be adequate for this purpose: A total of 31 µl capillary blood serum is sufficient for analyzing various serum lipids together with the cholesterol in LP fractions (α-, Pre- β -, β-LP) (2–4) Results obtained by these methods were found to be in good agreement with those obtained by current methods.
