121 a target intensity of 30%, and an exposure time of 53.3 ms were selected. In order to be analyzed, the image of the each tube following ultracentrifugation was converted to a density profile using a commercially available software program. m A tube coordinate scale was established where 0.0 mm was the top of the tube and 34.0 mm was the bottom of the tube. 281 The average intensity was then plotted as a function of the tube coordinate. The ultracentrifugation method described above has been described as being able to identify 11 distinct density lipoprotein fractions in humans (TRL, 5 LDL fractions, and 5 HDL fractions). This separation is based solely on the density characteristics of the lipoprotein fractions and not on their functional properties. Therefore, this method was used to develop lipoprotein fingerprinting in canine serum based on lipoprotein densities alone. Density ranges were based on those previously published for humans by several authors. 282 Specifically, the 11 fractions and their corresponding densities (d) were as follows: chylomicrons and VLDL (d
122 have determined the density of HDL 1 suggest that the density of this molecule is around 1.08 g/mL, which would suggest that it corresponds to HDL 2b or possibly HDL 2a . 283 Statistical analysis Commercial statistical software packages were used for all statistical analyses. n,o,p Data were analyzed for normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Normally distributed data were analyzed using t-tests, while not normally distributed data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests. For multiple comparisons, repeated measures one-way ANOVA was used for normally distributed data followed by Bonferroni analysis, while the Friedman’s test was used for not normally distributed data followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison tests. Proportions were compared between groups using Fisher’s exact tests. Sliced inverse regression or logistic regression was used to test whether there was a relationship between group and lipoprotein profiles. Significance was set at P
