HDL proteome analysis by nano-LC-MS/MS. The identified peptide spectra of major proteins were presented as horizontal bars and their main functions were categorized. a: lipid transport protein; b: acute phase protein; c: complement and immunological pathway protein; d: antioxidant protein; e: hemostasis-associated protein; f: other cellular processes.
