Data for density calculation.

The molecular weight of component F is averaged by taking individual molecular weights (see also [53]) of apoC isoforms, predominantly apoC-II (8.8 kDa) and C-III (8.9 kDa), and apoE (34 kDa) in a specific set ratio. Similarly, a 1:2 ratio for cholesterol:cholesteryl ester (with molecular weights of 386 and 648 Da, respectively) is used for the average molecular weight of component C. Molecular volumes were calculated using appropriate component's specific volumes [54].
