Table 2. Molecular weights.

Protein Weight (kda) Explanation
LDL 549 Over 95% of the LDL protein mass is apolipoprotein
B-100 (apo B-100, 549 kDa (1000 g/mol)) [63].
HDL 105 The range of weight of HDL is 105–130 [64].
Free radical 0.51 kda Free radicals include DPPH (0.39 kda),
ABTS (0.51 kda) and superoxide anion (0.81 kda) [65].
IFN-γ 17 IFN-γ is described as a 17 kDa peptide [66].
PDGF 35 There are two PDGF polypeptides:
PDGF-I with a molecular weight of about 35 kda, and
PDGF-II with a molecular weight of about 32 kda [67].
MCP-1 8.9 [68]
IL-12 70 [69]
MMP 52 MMP-1 has two major species of molecular
mass, 57 kDa and 52 kDa [48].
TIMP 25 The molecular weights of TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3
are 28.5 kDa 21 kDa and 27 kDa respectively [48].
