Abstract When determining high-density lipoprotein cholesterol by use of sodium phosphotungstate-magnesium precipitation method, I found that the pH of the sodium phosphotungstate reagent was a critical factor in the method. Unless the pH of the reagent was less than 7.6, the precipitation of low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoprotein was incomplete. When the specimen pH was between 7.35 and 8.65, the pH of the serum of plasma did not influence the completeness of precipitation. Optimum concentrations of precipitation reagents, determined after the pH of the sodium phosphotungstate reagent was standardized to pH 6. 15, were 40 g/L for sodium phosphotungstate and 2 mol/L for MgCl2. The distribution of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in a healthy adult population was skewed to the left for women (n = 34; mean = 660 mg/L) and bi-modal for men (n = 44; mean = 460 mg/mL). The central 95% reference interval was 280 to 880 mg/L for women and 250 to 750 mg/L for men.

Background: The associations of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (HDL‑C) and total cholesterol (TC) to HDL‑C ratio and low ankle brachial index (ABI) were seldom investigated. Patients and methods: A population based cross-sectional survey was conducted and 2982 participants 60 years and over were recruited. TG, TC, HDL‑C, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were assessed in all participants. Low ABI was defined as ABI ≤ 0.9 in either leg. Multiple logistic regression models were applied to study the association between TG/HDL‑C ratio, TC/HDL‑C ratio and low ABI. Results: The TG/HDL‑C ratios for those with ABI > 0.9 and ABI ≤ 0.9 were 1.28 ± 1.20 and 1.48 ± 1.13 (P < 0.0001), while the TC/HDL‑C ratios were 3.96 ± 1.09 and 4.32 ± 1.15 (P < 0.0001), respectively. After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, obesity, current drinking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes, lipid-lowering drugs, and cardiovascular disease history, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of low ABI for TG/HDL‑C ratio and TC/HDL‑C ratio were 1.10 (0.96, 1.26) and 1.34 (1.14, 1.59) in non-smokers. When TC was further adjusted, the ORs (95 % CIs) were 1.40 (0.79, 2.52) and 1.53 (1.21, 1.93) for TG/HDL‑C ratio and TC/HDL‑C ratio, respectively. Non-linear relationships were detected between TG/HDL‑C ratio and TC/HDL‑C ratio and low ABI in both smokers and non-smokers. Conclusions: TC/HDL‑C ratio was significantly associated with low ABI in non-smokers and the association was independent of TC, TG, HDL‑C, and LDL-C. TC/HDL‑C might be considered as a potential biomarker for early peripheral arterial disease screening.
