Refractometric study of very low density lipoprotein (LDL)
Šinglárová, Simona ; Pacáková, Věra (advisor) ; Staňková, Barbora (referee)
Knowledge of the chemical composition of lipoproteins has a broad meaning. In determining lipoprotein particle size fractions is necessary to preliminary separation by ultracentrifugation in density solutions. Usually the determination is performed by electrophoretic or gel filtration with a suitable detection, which distorts the results. A better solution offers a new detector, called Light Scattering Detector, which detects the bend of laser beam on molecules or particles in solution. To calculate the required particle size dependence on the concentration of the refractive index dn / dc. Concentration is determined gravimetrically and refractive indices by refractometric method. Dependence suits polynomial function. If it correlates with the chemical composition of VLDL lipoprotein can be determined by studying a larger number of samples.

Lipoprotein study by SEC/LLSD method
Šinglárová, Simona ; Tvrzická, Eva (advisor) ; Staňková, Barbora (referee)
The disorders of the lipid metabolism have to be monitored for a number of socially significant diseases. For the diagnosis of these disorders, it turned out in the last 10 years as very beneficial to determine the particle size of the individual lipoprotein classes, in particular the low-density lipoprotein. Among several known methods, we have chosen gel filtration with the light scattering detector. Lipoprotein fractions were separated by ultracentrifugation from the plasma of four donors. Three biochemical parameters - total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and total protein - were routinely determined for plasma and for each fraction. The silica column BioBasic SEC 300x7,8 mm was calibrated by the proteins thyroglobulin, ovalbumin and angiotensin II with UV detection (280 nm). These proteins are not suitable (due to the size) for the calibration method SEC-LLSD. Therefore, latex beads of various modifications and sizes were tested. The only usable measurement was obtained for the deep-blue latex beads of the size 55 nm, the others remained retained in the column. The lipoprotein fractions of VLDL and LDL were examined by the SEC-LLSD method at different pH (7.3, 7.5, 7.7, 8.0) and ionic strength (0.1M phosphate buffer, 0.1M phosphate buffer and 0.9% NaCl, 0.05M phosphate buffer and 0.9% NaCl)....
