ResumoWhen total protein in very low density lipoprotein samples is measured by the method of Lowry et al. (1951.J .Biol.Chem.193: 265-275), turbidity remains in the final color reaction.Addition of 0.1 ml of 2.5% (v/v) solution of Triton X-100 removes this turbidity immediately and effectively.This simple modification is faster, less cumbersome, and more economical than removing turbidity with ethyl ether or chloroform.Addition of 0.1 ml of 2.5% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate to the final reaction mixture is also effective in removing turbidity and can be used as an alternative method.-Kashyap,M.
