b. Total Cholesterol
i.HDL-cholesterol determination
ii. LDL-cholesterol determination
2.Plasma Appearance Test
3.Lipoprotein electrophoresis
4.Ultracentrifugation
neutral fats because fatty acids are tied up in ester linkages
Triglycerides
depot fat or storage material of adipose tissue and main form of lipid storage in man
Triglycerides
major constituents of chylomicrons and prebeta lipoprotein
Triglycerides
higher value in serum than in plasma
Triglycerides
also known as “triacyl glycerol”

Triglyceride Enzymatic method
Initial Reaction
Triglyceride –(Lipase)–> glycerol + 3 fatty acids
Glycerol + ATP –(Glycerol Kinase)–> Glycerol phosphate + ADP
Weiland Method Principle
Glycerol phosphate + NAD –(Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase)–> dihydroacetone phosphate + NADH + H
NADH + tetrazolium dye –(Diaphorase)–> formazan + NAD
Weiland Method: The absorbance of NADH can be measured at ___ nm after GCPD reaction.
The absorbance of formazan can be measure at ___ nm
340
500-600
Trinders Method Principle
Triglyceride enzymatic method
Glycerophosphate + O2 –(Glycerophosphate oxidase)–> dihydroacetone + H2O2
H2O2 + phenol + 4-aminoantipyrine –(Peroxidase)–> quinoneimine dye
