| Description | For the quantitative determination of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in human serum. Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in blood, bile and brain tissue. It serves as a precursor to bile acids, steroids and vitamin D. The concentration of total cholesterol in serum has been associated with metabolic, infectious and coronary heart diseases. In the plasma, cholesterol is transported by three lipoproteins: high density lipoprotein (HDL-Cholesterol), low density lipoprotein (LDL-Cholesterol), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-Cholesterol). When serum is reacted with the polyethylene glycol reagent, all the low and very low-density lipoprotein (LDL and VLDL) are precipitated. The HDL fraction remains in the supernatant. The supernatant is then treated as a sample for cholesterol assay. |
