Distinct lipoprotein profile with larger and regular LDL (low-density lipoprotein) associated with coronary atherosclerosis disease severity at T1. A, Representative fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) profiles of one advanced-diseased pig (AD) and one mildly diseased pig. Both the cholesterol levels (black line) and the triglyceride levels (gray line) are indicated. Larger LDL has the same size as VLDL (very-low–density lipoproteins). B, Sequential separation of lipoproteins using density-gradient ultracentrifuge (DGUC) and FPLC (graph of one example AD pig). Lipoproteins were separated on density using DGUC. Subsequently, the pooled LDL fractions were subjected to FPLC revealing the presence of regular LDL and larger LDL. HDL indicates high-density lipoprotein.
