Lipoprotein fractions are separated from serum by repeated ultracentrifugations after progressively raising the solvent density. Routinely 3 fractions were separated: lipoproteins with densities less than 1.019, with densities between 1.019 and 1.063, and with densities greater than 1.063. Young adults carry about 2/3 of the serum cholesterol and about half the phospholipid in the 2d fraction. The quantity of lipid in the 1st fraction is greater in young men than in young women. The quantity of lipid in the 3d fraction is less in young men than in young women. In hyperlipoproteinemia either the 1st, 2d, or both, fractions are elevated. The 3d fraction is variably affected. Alterations in chemical composition of the fractions also occur in disease. In animal sera wide variations in distribution and composition occur among the different species. A greater percent of the total lipid occurs in the 3d fraction. Subfractionation of the 3d fraction in man demonstrates 2 fractions differing only in protein content. After centrifugation at a density of 1.21 no cholesterol remains in the infranate, which still contains about 10 to 15% of the lipid P.
