Higher order lipase gene association with plasma triglycerides.
Lipoprotein lipase, HL, and endothelial lipase (EL) are proteoglycan-bound enzymes that regulate plasma lipoprotein levels through coordinated triglyceride (TG) lipase and phospholipase activity. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lipase genes would have higher order impact on plasma lipoproteins beyond the influence of individual SNPs. In a sample of asymptomatic Ca...
متن کاملThe role of clearing-factor lipase (lipoprotein lipase) in the transport of plasma triglycerides.
The enzyme clearing-factor lipase, or lipoprotein lipase, is responsible for the removal of most of the plasma triglycerides from the bloodstream (Robinson, 1963). The main carriers of such triglycerides are the chylomicrons and the verylowdensity lipoproteins and these complexes are believed to be first sequestered by the enzyme at the lumen surfaces of the capillary endothelial cells of the e...
متن کاملAssociation of plasma lipoproteins with postheparin lipase activities.
Studies were designed to explore the association of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activities with lipoproteins in human postheparin plasma (PHP). The major peak of LPL activity after gel filtration of PHP eluted after the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and just before the peak of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. When PHP contained chylomicrons, an add...
متن کاملAssociation of lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test whether the HindIII (+) and PvuII (-) or (+) restriction enzyme-defined alleles are associated with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism, hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Polymorphic variants of the LPL gene are common ...
متن کاملReduction of plasma triglycerides in apolipoprotein C-II transgenic mice overexpressing lipoprotein lipase in muscle.
LPL and its specific physiological activator, apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II), regulate the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TGs) from circulating TG-rich lipoproteins. Previously, we developed a skeletal muscle-specific LPL transgenic mouse that had lower plasma TG levels. ApoC-II transgenic mice develop hypertriglyceridemia attributed to delayed clearance. To investigate whether overexpression of L...
