Relative Values of Normal Lipidograms

In Table 10 (after Sonnet) a few comparative figures for glucidograms are given. The only point of agreement is the value of the glycoproteins in the a2 position. The recent figures of Hjornson and Sonnet are concordant, however, and more likely to be correct. 

For lipids, authors are far from agreement and it is difficult to compare the values reported. A selection of published figures is, however, given in Table 11. Comparison between electrophoretic and ultracentrifuge fractions seems an interesting field (P12, P13, P14, P15). Two-dimensional techniques are modifying our concepts on lipoproteins and give consistent results, as will be seen at the end of Part II.
