Hormones, Lipoproteins and Atherosclerosis, Volume 35

Emerging from the international symposium on "Hormones, Lipoproteins and Atherosclerosis" held in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, this volume addresses the problems of hormonal effects on lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis. It also covers issues related to the composition, structure, synthesis, and degradation of lipoproteins, as well as genetic and clinical aspects.

The participants contributed not only by presenting new data but also by introducing new ideas and stimulating trends in the research and therapy of metabolic derangements of lipoproteins and the resulting pathological conditions. The 51 contributions are organized into five parts.

Part I

Includes papers on the metabolism of lipoproteins.

Part II

Presents studies on hormones and lipoproteins.

Part III

Is devoted to atherosclerosis and lipoproteins.

Part IV

Takes up the clinical aspects of hyperlipoproteinemias.

Part V

On methods contains two studies—the first on the isolation of human plasma high density lipoproteins; the second on the separation of subfractions of the serum triacylglycerols.
