LEF
LEF, or Lipoprotein Electron Microscopy, is a technique used to visualize and study the detailed structure of lipoproteins—particles in the blood that carry fats like cholesterol and triglycerides. Using advanced electron microscopy, LEF provides high-resolution images, allowing researchers to analyze the size, shape, and composition of these particles. This helps in understanding their role in health and disease, particularly in cardiovascular conditions, by revealing structural differences that may influence their behavior and impact on arteries.
