From: Relationship between Icodextrin use and decreased level of small low-density lipoprotein cholesterol fractioned by high-performance gel permeation chromatography

Figure 1

Representative chromatographic pattern obtained by high-performance gel permeation chromatography. The chromatography system could detect the cholesterol (red line) and triglyceride (blue line) levels in lipoprotein fractions from a diabetic male patient using icodextrin with a total cholesterol level of 175 mg/dl and a total triglyceride level of 53 mg/dl. In this study, the cholesterol levels in lipoprotein fractions were analyzed. Arrow 1 indicates the peaks for VLDL and LDL; arrow 2, HDL; arrow 3, endogenous free glycerol. Abbreviations: VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoproteins.
