Regulation of HDL (high-density-lipoprotein)-cholesterol and LDL (low-density-lipoprotein)-
cholesterol plays a central role in various disease developments. It is well known that low
levels of HDL and high level of LDL are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular
events. The HDL and LDL/VLDL Cholesterol Quantification Kit provides a simple
quantification method of HDL and LDL/VLDL after a convenient separation of HDL from LDL
and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) in serum samples. In the assay, cholesterol oxidase
specifically recognizes free cholesterol and produces products which react with probe to
generate color (lambda = 570nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 538/587nm). Cholesterol esterase hydrolizes cholesteryl ester into free cholesterol, therefore, cholesterol ester and free
cholesterol can be detected separately in the presence and absence of cholesterol esterase
in the reactions.
