Abstract

The present invention relates to a reagent for selective measurement of triglycerides contained in very low density lipoprotein and intermediate density lipoprotein or in very low density lipoprotein in a test sample, including a first reagent that contains a first selective reaction promoter, which is an ether or ester compound of a polyoxyalkylene capable of reacting lipoprotein lipase selectively with triglycerides contained in low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein; lipoprotein lipase; enzymes which catalyze a series of reactions leading to the generation of hydrogen peroxide or a reduced coenzyme from glycerol; and an enzyme which catalyzes a reaction leading to the conversion of hydrogen peroxide or a reduced coenzyme into another substance, and a second reagent that contains a second selective reaction promoter, which is capable of reacting lipoprotein lipase selectively with triglycerides contained in very low density lipoprotein, intermediate density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein and to a method for selective measurement of triglycerides contained in very low density lipoprotein and intermediate density lipoprotein or in very low density lipoprotein in a test sample which uses the above reagent.
