Abstract
1. 1. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed on the sera of thirty-six mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds, and the quantitative distribution of the lipoprotein classes in each animal was determined. 2. 2. Pig, opossum and garter snake sera seem to contain large amounts of low density lipoprotein, the lipoprotein class which is of primary interest in atherosclerosis research. These animals also have serum cholesterol values similar to humans. 3. 3. Agarose gel electrophoresis proved an excellent method for determining lipoprotein distributions, but the electrophoretic mobilities of the lipoproteins appear to be unsuitable for lipoprotein classification.
