Determination of Density Ratios

Abbreviation	Definition	Subclass Ratio*
LLDR	Logarithmic LDL density ratio
LHDR	Logarithmic HDL density ratio
LVDR	Logarithmic VLDL density ratio

^*Lipoprotein subclasses are separated by vertical density gradient ultracentrifugation and their relative cholesterol concentrations are measured by deconvoluting the spectrophotometric absorbance curve.
