case_images: A profile of lipoproteins. A result of lipoprotein electrophoresis indicates that the patient has type V hyperlipoproteinemia. There are well defined bands of chylomicrons and grossly elevated pre-beta lipoproteins. HDL (alpha-lipoprotein) and VLDL (pre-beta lipoprotein) move with alpha1-globulins (the most left area) and alpha2-globulins (first peaks). LDL (beta-lipoprotein) migrates with beta-globulins and chylomicron (second peak) remains at the origin.
