DiscountedLabs.com question: NMR Lipid Particle Size Panel

[rhino5169]

Are the VAP or LPP tests available?

Thanks.
I saw those but im not sure how this panel compares with the 2 I listed.
Maybe Nelson will chime in to explain what the differences are if any.

I am not familiar with Spectracell's LPP test. But I know this company requires a physician account, prescription and is expensive. I found no comparison or validation data on this panel.

The VAP company seems to be out of business. http://www.thevaptest.com/

NMR fared better than VA in this comparison:

"Four methodologies confirm the association of small, dense LDL with greater coronary atherosclerosis progression, and GGE, NMR, and ion mobility confirm that the associations were independent of standard lipid measurements"

Comparison of four methods of analysis of lipoprotein particle subfractions for their association with angiographic progression of coronary artery disease


www.DiscountedLabs.com 's NMR price is the best online. We also provide the prescription.

Ok, looks like the option then.
