The relationship between serum NMR spectra and the lipoprotein subfractions. a Representative 1H NMR spectra from two individual breast cancer patients. b The two main lipid peaks represent methyl and methylene proton signals from lipid moieties within the lipoprotein particles. Minor differences in distribution of lipoprotein subfractions result in distinct line shape differences. c By regression-based modelling of the relationship between lipid signal line shape and lipoprotein subfractions, lipoprotein subfractions can be determined in new serum samples based on the 1H NMR spectrum
