Characteristics of LDL preparations

	TBARS (nmol/mg protein)*	REM (centimeter)**
Native LDL	0 - 2	0
Minimally oxidized LDL	10 - 40	0.1-0.4
Extensively oxidized LDL	160 - 200	> 1.0

Results represent the range of measurements from at least three independent experiments.

^*TBARS: thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances;

^**REM: relative electrophoretic mobility on 2% agarose gel relative to native LDL.
