Abstract
To investigate the regulation of soluble very low-density lipoprotein receptor (sVLDL-R), which is cleaved mostly from the extracellular domain of VLDL-R II, we generated two rat monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human sVLDL-R, and used them to develop a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure sVLDL-R levels in human serum or plasma. The ELISA had a linear range from 0.20 ng/mL to 13.02 ng/mL and allowed for the quantification of sVLDL-R in serum and culture cell medium. The coefficient of variation (CV) was less than 10% for both the intra- and inter-assays. The bililubin F, and C, triglyceride (TG), and hemoglobin levels did not affect assay precision. The sVLDL-R concentration was negatively associated with body fat percentage, TG, and HbA1c, suggesting the possibility of obesity and diabetes in middle-aged Japanese women.
