This invention provides a method for separately or simultaneously quantifying cholesterol in a total amount of HDL-C, cholesterol in an HDL subfraction of apoE-containing HDL-C, and cholesterol in an HDL subfraction of apoE-deficient HDL-C. The method comprises enzymatically and separately quantifying cholesterol in apoE-containing HDL and cholesterol in apoE-deficient HDL by adding a surfactant selected from the group consisting of a surfactant with an apoE-containing HDL response rate/apoE-deficient HDL response rate ratio of 0.7 to less than 1.3, a surfactant with an apoE-containing HDL response rate/apoE-deficient HDL response rate ratio of less than 0.7, and a surfactant with an apoE-containing HDL response rate/apoE-deficient HDL response rate ratio of 1.3 or more to a test sample, allowing cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase to react therewith, and quantifying the hydrogen peroxide generated. |
