Serum Lipoproteins in Diseases o f the

In trod u ction The changes in serum lipoproteins in liver disease have been reviewed previously by Scanu13 in 1967. In the intervening years, a number of important contributions in understanding lipoprotein changes have been made. In this paper, a general review of the changes in the lipoproteins in a few selected liver diseases is given in the light of recent advances in this area. It is now well established that lipopro teins are quite complex molecules which are produced in and probably degraded by the liver, although other organs, e.g., in testine, kidney, etc. may play a role i
