Lipoprotein Subfractions by Ion Mobility in Lean and Obese Children

Despite relatively normal triglycerides and cholesterol measured with standard assays at screening, ion mobility analysis showed significant differences in lipid and apolipoprotein subfractions between lean and obese children, even those prepubertal. Long-term, prospective follow-up may better characterize the predictability of lipid subfractions for future cardiovascular disease risk in children.
