Electrophoretic mobility in agarose of very low density lipoprotein subfractions in type III hyperlipoproteinaemia

The electrophoretic mobilities in agarose gel of the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) subfractions of Sf greater than 100, 60-100 and 20-60 from six subjects with type III hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) have been compared with those from eight normal volunteers. In type III HLP beta or near-beta (slower VLDL) electrophoretic mobility was not necessarily confined to the VLDL fraction of Sf 20-60 in which it may normally be detected.
