TERMINOLOGY

1. NMR: nuclear magnetic resonance.
2. Bruker600 MHz Spectrometer
3. HDL: high density lipoprotein
4. LDL: low density lipoprotein
5. VLDL: very low density lipoprotein
   The human serum lipoproteins (points 3, 4 and 5) are complexes for the transport of cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver, and to a lesser extent from the large intestine, to peripheral tissue. HDL is inversely, and LDL directly, correlated with the risk of coronary heart disease.
6. LCAT: Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (enzyme)
7. LPL: Lipoprotein lipase (enzyme)
8. apoA-I: apolipoprotein A-I
9. apoC-I: apolipoprotein C-I
10. apoC-II: apolipoprotein C-II
11. [¹⁵N,¹³C] Labels
12. NOESY: nuclear Overhauser enhanced spectroscopy
