چکیده

The fully enzymatic Wako and Ektachem assays for pancreatic lipase in serum were found to yield precise (especially Ektachem) and consistent results that were significantly correlated (r = 0.995). Less good concordance was found with the turbidimetric aca method, results being on several occasions above normal by Wako or Ektachem but within the reference limit by the aca. Supplementation of aca packs with colipase generally increased lipase activities measured by the aca in these samples, thereby improving the correlation with Wako and Ektachem. In vitro addition experiments documented that both Wako and Ektachem were relatively insensitive to common chemical interferences. However, post-heparin lipase activities produced a positive interference in both assays, resulting in seemingly increased lipase activities that were suggestive of pancreatic disease. Substituting sodium glycocholate (6 mmol/L) for deoxycholic acid largely eliminated this positive interference in the Wako assay. Because Ektachem reagents cannot be modified in this way, we added sodium glycocholate (2-12 mmol/L) to sera; however, this failed to dissipate the in vivo effect of heparin on the Ektachem results.

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...

Metabolic abnormalities in multiple symmetric lipomatosis: elevated lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue with hyperalphalipoproteinemia.

Lipoprotein lipase activity in lipomatous tissue, post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma, and the composition and concentration of serum lipoproteins were studied in 15 patients with Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (MSL). Extremely elevated lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue was found in MSL patients. Total and hepatic post-heparin plasma lipolytic activity was normal, whi...

A novel method for measurement of triglyceride lipase activity: suitable for microgram and nanogram quantities of tissue.

The measurement of triglyceride lipase activity in microgram and nanogram quantities of tissue is reported. The method involves quantitation of glycerol released from a triglyceride substrate, which is shown to provide a value of approximately one-third of that obtained by quantitation of free fatty acid release. Influences on glycerol release, including pH optimum, NaCl inhibition, and activat...

Two methods compared for measuring lipase activity in plasma after heparin administration.

We compared two methods for the direct selective measurement of hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase activities in human plasma after intravenous administration of heparin. Except for the emulsifier (gum arabic vs lecithin), the two assay media for hepatic lipase are essentially similar. Results for hepatic lipase by these two assays correlate well (r = 0.99). The assays for lipoprotein lipase...
