Nmr Quotes

You know you're a chemist when you expect your washing machine not just to have "spin" but to have "lock and shim" as well. And when your clothes don't come out clean you wonder if it's because you chose the wrong solvent from the menu or something, or maybe it ran out of N2. Or if the machine was tuned to "pants" rather than "socks" nucleus. And then you think "I'll submit it for service

The best test for measuring LDL particles is the NMR Lipoprofile test from Liposcience in Raleigh, North Carolina. NMR is the acronym for “nuclear magnetic resonance” and it is the best commercial lab test using this state-of-the-art technology to determine the nature of your LDL particles—whether they are mostly the large, fluffy Pattern A kind (the good ones) or the small, dense Pattern B type (the bad ones). Your LDL-P number is far more relevant to heart health than your LDL-C will ever be.

Three other tests are out there which will perform a Pattern A/Pattern B analysis: Ion Mobility, NMR, and VAP. We prefer them in that order. If your triglycerides are below 100 mg/dl, you are highly likely to be Pattern A, and it is a near certainty if triglycerides are below 75. High Lipoprotein(a), also designated

NMR LIPO PROFILE LDL-P (actual number of LDL particles or particle concentration in the blood) Optimal - Under 1000 nmo/L Near Optimal - 1000 to 1299 nmo/L Borderline High Risk for Heart Disease - 1300-1599 nmo/L High Risk for Heart Disease - 1600 to 2000 nmo/L Very High Risk for Heart Disease - Over 2000 nmo/L

Pattern A and B are called lipid subfractions. Unfortunately, this test isn’t standardized and there are three competing methods: Ion Mobility (IM), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Vertical Auto Profile (VAP). We prefer them in that order. They don’t yield identical results, but are close.
