A gradient column of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 10% saline separated fat particles of alimentary lipemic plasma into two distinct groups differing in appearance rates and fatty acid composition.
This basic science study demonstrates a method to separate fat particles in alimentary lipemia into two distinct groups, suggesting different origins such as thoracic duct chyle and the liver.
A gradient column of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 10% saline sharply divides the fat particles of alimentary lipemic plasma into 2 groups. The particles of both groups float in isotonic saline, density 1.006. 2. During alimentary lipemia the 2 groups differ in rates of appearance and disappearance, and in fatty acid composition. Evidence is presented that one group consists of particles from thoracic duct chyle, and that the other group consists of particles originating elsewhere, possibly the liver.
Enoch Gordis (Wed,) conducted a other in Alimentary lipemia. Polyvinylpyrrolidone gradient columns was evaluated on Separation of fat particles and their characteristics. A gradient column of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 10% saline separated fat particles of alimentary lipemic plasma into two distinct groups differing in appearance rates and fatty acid composition.
