Improved method for determination of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol II. Enzymic determination of cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein fractions with a sensitive reagent

F Grillo, C Izzo, G Mazzotti and E Murador

A reagent is described for the colorimetric enzymic determination of high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The reagent can be used with HDL fractions isolated by the various methods of precipitation of low- and very-low-density lipoproteins we investigated. The considerable sensitivity obtained by use of Barham-Trinder's reaction allows the sample/reagent volume ratio to be decreased to 1:80, and major interferences thus eliminated. The response is linear from 100 to 2000 mg of HDL cholesterol per liter. The maximum CV obtained in precision tests was approximately 1% within series and approximately 3% between series. Most of the bilirubin interference is eliminated by adopting a reaction pH of 6.1. Because of its sensitivity, the reagent is particularly suitable for use with HDL fractions isolated after precipitation with polyethylene glycol 6000, which are characterized by a marked dilution. HDL cholesterol determination with the proposed reagent is accurate and precise. Values obtained are in line with those provided for by the Abell-Kendall method. The method can easily be automated.
