The Relationship between Preheparin Lipoprotein Lipase and Metabolic Derangements in Obese Japanese Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between preheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and derangements of metabolic status in obese Japanese children. We examined 102 obese children (55 boys and 47 girls; mean age 10.9 yr). Anthropometry, blood pressure and levels of liver transaminases, serum lipids and lipoproteins, uric acid, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, LPL, leptin and adiponectin were measured. The subjects were divided into the metabolic syndrome (MS) and non-MS groups. The levels of LPL were compared between these groups. Statistical analysis showed that the LPL levels were significantly lower in the MS group compared with the non-MS group, with the levels decreasing progressively as the number of MS components increased. We conclude that LPL levels decrease also in obese Japanese children with a deteriorated metabolic status in the same way as in adults.

To determine the putative metabolic relevance of preheparin versus postheparin lipoprotein lipases, the relationships of both pre- and postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) to plasma triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were determined in 93 men. Relationships of preheparin lipases to their...

A radiochemical method for selective measurement of postheparin lipase activities was adapted to analyze lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase in preheparin plasma. The assay sensitivity was increased about four-fold by doubling both the volume of plasma used and the volume of lipolytic products taken for liquid scintillation counting, and was further improved by increasing the incubation perio...

Background: Background: Obesity, especially central obesity is related to many endocrine abnormalities, such as thyroid dysfunctions. Elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is common in obese children, however, it is not clear if such condition is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors. The study aimed to determine the association between levels of TSH in overweight...
