Reactivity of Direct Assays for Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol Toward Charge-Modified LDL in Hypercholesterolemia

Abstract

The 2 homogenous assays for LDL-C differed with regard to reactivity toward LDL particles and cmLDL in patients with HC. Direct measurement of LDL-C that reflects modified LDL, could be a better marker for the risk of coronary heart disease.
