Alcoholic hypertriglyceridemia with decreased activity of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglyceride lipase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 35-year-old male with alcoholic hypertriglyceridemia due to decreased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activities is reported. The patient had been drinking about 180 ml of whiskey (equivalent to 80 g of 100% ethanol) every day for the last 17 years, and the highest levels of serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol were 5,120 mg/dl and 506 mg/dl, respectively. Serum TG level returned to normal levels after complete alcohol abstinence. Further intake of ethanol resulted in an increase in serum TG to 326 mg/dl with a concomitant decrease in the serum levels of LPL and HTGL activities.

Lipolysis, and not hepatic lipogenesis, is the primary modulator of triglyceride levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.
OBJECTIVE Diabetic hypertriglyceridemia is thought to be primarily driven by increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis. However, experiments in animal models indicated that insulin deficiency should decrease hepatic de novo lipogenesis and reduce plasma triglyceride levels. APPROACH AND RESULTS To address the discrepancy between human data and genetically altered mouse models, we investigated whe...
متن کاملMeasurement of two plasma triglyceride lipases by an immunochemical method: studies in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.
Postheparin plasma lipolytic activity consists of two hydrolytic activities, hepatic triglyceride lipase and lipoprotein lipase. These two enzymes were separated and partially purified by means of ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography using Sepharose with covalently linked heparin and concanavalin A, respectively. Antibodies were produced against hepatic triglyceride lipase...
متن کاملPost-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase in normal subjects and in patients with hypertriglyceridaemia: correlations to sex, age and various parameters of triglyceride metabolism.
1. A selective immunochemical method was used to measure post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activity in eighty-two normal subjects and in twenty patients with type IIb, IV or V hypertriglyceridaemia. In twenty-six normal subjects the activity of post-heparin plasma lipases was compared with the kinetic parameters of endogenous plasma triglyceride metabolism. 2. The activi...
متن کاملMechanism of hypertriglyceridemia in Dahl rats.
Plasma triglyceride concentrations were shown to be higher in hypertensive (153 +/- 2 mm Hg) male Dahl salt-sensitive rats than in control Sprague-Dawley rats (122 +/- 2 mm Hg). These differences in triglyceride concentrations were seen when blood was drawn at 9 AM from unfasted animals (229 +/- 27 versus 111 +/- 8 mg/dL), at 1 PM after a 4-hour fast (186 +/- 13 versus 88 +/- 4 mg/dL), or at 9 ...
متن کاملA case of adolescent hyperlipoproteinemia with xanthoma and acute pancreatitis, associated with decreased activities of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglyceride lipase.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) enhance the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG) transported by chylomicron (CM) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). We report a case of severe hyperchylomicronemia with high levels of remnant lipoprotein and total cholesterol (T-Chol) in a 15-year-old boy. Precise examination of the lipid profile showed decreased activities of bo...
