Lipoprotein Protocols is a specialized book edited by Jose Ordovas that offers a comprehensive collection of molecular protein methods for investigating advanced aspects of lipoprotein structure and metabolism. It is aimed at both beginners and experienced researchers, providing detailed step-by-step instructions for both basic and advanced genetic screening techniques, including RT-PCR and the preparation of relevant models of transgenic and knockout mice. Additionally, novel techniques are presented to characterize plasma lipoproteins, their subfractions and modifications, as well as to determine the activity of relevant enzymes and carrier proteins. The methods are described by experienced experts who have perfected them, making it a valuable resource for research in the field of lipoproteins and cardiovascular diseases.
