LabAssay HDL-Cholesterol

Cholesterol circulates in the body in particles called lipoproteins. There are different types of lipoprotein, among which HDL-cholesterol is responsible for transporting excess cholesterol to the liver, from tissues, eliminated cells, and blood, preventing increased blood cholesterol levels, and suppressing abnormal lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. A decrease in HDL-cholesterol concentration is seen in coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and hypocholesterolemia, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and liver disease. HDL is an important protective factor against coronary heart disease (CHD), with hypo-HDL cholesterolemia one of the major risk factors for CHD.

LabAssay HDL-Cholesterol is a kit for the determination of HDL-cholesterol in blood (serum and plasma). With the use of a microplate, this kit provides a quick and convenient method for measuring HDL-cholesterol in samples. In addition, our kit do not require fractionation of lipoproteins by centrifugation.

Note: LabAssay series are reagents for research purposes. They cannot be used for diagnostic purposes.
