[Beta 2 glycoprotein I analysis in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia, arteriosclerotic occlusive disease and diabetes mellitus].

Beta 2-glycoprotein-I (apolipoprotein H) is an activator of the lipoprotein lipase. The concentration of beta 2-glycoprotein-I in the blood serum was determined with the help of the radial immunodiffusion. In patients with hyperlipoproteinaemia of type IIa and IIb, arteriosclerotic obstructive disease or diabetes mellitus the beta 2-glycoprotein-I-concentrations were increased. In hyperlipoproteinaemia of type IV can be concluded to a relative beta 2-glycoprotein-I-deficiency.
