Abstract We compared the Du Pont aca (phosphotungstate-enzymic cholesterol) and the Dow (dextran sulfate/Mg2+-enzymic cholesterol) methods for the determination of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and total cholesterol in serum from 113 patients. The aca results for both total cholesterol and HDLC were significantly greater (p less than 0.0001) than the Dow results, the aca method overestimating the HDLC concentration (mean recovery 107.2% in serum samples with values assigned by the Centers for Disease Control). The precision of the aca method for HDLC was essentially the same as that of the Dow method. Bilirubin (up to 0.17 g/L), hemoglobin (up to 4 g/L), and slight lipemia (triglycerides up to 5.4 g/L) did not interfere with the aca method.

Abstract The subjects in this study were volunteers from a Zimbabwean population: 794 men and 705 women, ages between 20 and 65 years. They were receiving no medication and had no disease that could influence lipid metabolism. For determination of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoproteins, they were screened for the known risk factors for coronary heart disease, to exclude factors known to influence those analytes. The results showed a significant sex- and age-dependence. The means and ranges for cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides were lower than those found in European populations. The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A concentrations, on the other hand, were higher than in the European populations. This study established the reference ranges of the analytes studied and suggests that the prevalence of coronary heart disease may be low in Zimbabwean Africans.

Abstract We evaluated a new homogeneous assay for quantifying high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The assay included four reagents: polyethylene glycol for "wrapping" chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), and low-density lipoproteins (LDL); antibodies specific for apolipoprotein (apo) B and apo C-III to produce aggregates of chylomicrons, VLDL, and LDL; enzymes for the enzymatic cholesterol determination of the noncomplexed lipoproteins with 4-aminoantipyrine as the color reagent; and guanidine salt to stop the enzymatic reaction and to solubilize the complexes of apo B-containing lipoproteins, which would otherwise interfere with the reading of absorbance. The total CVs of the new method ranged between 2.4% and 8.4%. The HDL-C values (y) were in good agreement with those by a comparison phosphotungstic acid/MgCl2 method (x): y= 0.987x + 17.2 mg/L (68th percentile of the residuals on the regression line= 21.49, r= 0.970). At triglyceride concentrations of 20 g/L (Intralipid) the homogeneous HDL-C concentrations increased by 2%. Hemoglobin markedly increased the results, whereas bilirubin reduced them. The homogeneous HDL-C assay was easy to handle and allows full automation. This test should considerably facilitate the screening of individuals at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
