Lipoprotein Lipase Increases Low Density Lipoprotein Retention
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the rate-limiting enzyme for hydrolysis of plasma lipoprotein triglycerides, is a normal constituent of the arterial wall. We explored whether LPL affects (a) lipoprotein transport across bovine aortic endothelial cells or (b) lipoprotein binding to subendothelial cell matrix (retention). When bovine milk LPL was added to endothelial cell monolayers before addition of ...
متن کاملPhenotypic Expression of Heterozygous Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency
Familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder accompanied by well-characterized manifestations. The phenotypic expression of heterozygous LPL deficiency has not been so clearly defined. We studied the pedigree of a proband known to be homozygous for a mutation resulting in nonfunctional LPL. Hybridization ofDNA from 126 members with allele-specific probes detected 29 c...
متن کاملLipoprotein Lipase (LPL) Gene Mutation: A First Report in Children
Genetic hyperchylomicronemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipoprotein metabolism estimated to affect approximately one per million individuals. We report a case with a rare mutation identified. It’s a genetic chylomicronemia in a Moroccan newborn baby, with massive hypertriglyceridemia and clinical signs of acute pancreatitis. She was a newborn female, first-degree of consanguineou...
متن کاملHeterogeneous mutations in the human lipoprotein lipase gene in patients with familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
The DNA sequences were determined for the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene from five unrelated Japanese patients with familial LPL deficiency. The results demonstrated that all five patients are homozygotes for distinct point mutations dispersed throughout the LPL gene. Patient 1 has a G-to-A transition at the first nucleotide of intron 2, which abolishes normal splicing. Patient 2 has a nonsense ...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase deficiency in an infant.
Patients with isolated hypertriglyceridemia usually present with recurrent abdominal pain, pancreatitis, eruptive xanthomas, lipemia retinalis and hepatosplenomegaly. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of an infant with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The child was found to be heterozygous for two novel mutations in the lipoprotein lipase gene.
