Structure of the multicompartmental model. Plasma apo B lipoproteins were separated into 18 compartments (oval shapes) by sequential anti-apo E and anti-apo C-III immunoaffinity chromatography and then by ultracentrifugation. Plasma tracer forcing function supplies a delay compartment responsible for the production and secretion of apo B. Each plasma apo B compartment represents a physically isolated lipoprotein fraction. See Subjects and Methods for details of model development and validation.
