Lipoprotein lipase in the physiological system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) cataly:%es the hydrolysis of plasma triacylglycerols and thereby enables the transfer of triacylglycerol fatty acids from the circulation to various extrahepatic tissues. The enzyme is synthesized in the parenchymal cells of a number of tissues including adipose tissue, heart and mammary gland, and is then secreted and transported to its functional site on the luminal surface of the capillary endothelial cells (Robinson, 1970; NilssonEhle et al., 1980).

Association between Lipoprotein Lipase Hind III Polymorphism and Serum Levels of Lipids in Semnan City
Background & Aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the key enzymes regulating the metabolism of triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphisms are possibly involved in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. Hind III polymorphism is one of the most common polymorphisms in LPL gene. In some studies, association of Hind III polymorphism with dyslipidemia h...
متن کاملAnalysis of the association Hind III Polymorphism of Lipoprotein Lipase gene on the risk of coronary artery disease
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Interaction between genetic and environmental factors determines susceptibility of an individual to develop coronary artery disease . Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) play an important role in the metabolism of HDL-C ( High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol ), LDL-C (Low Density Lipoprotein Ch...
متن کاملStudy of lipoprotein lipase content in Ob17 preadipocytes during adipose conversion. Immunofluorescent localization of the enzyme.
The development of lipoprotein lipase has been examined during adipose conversion of preadipocyte Ob17 cells. These cells have been previously shown to differentiate in clusters of fat cells. The lipoprotein lipase activity, which increases 20-50-fold during adipose conversion, is fully inhibited by anti-lipoprotein lipase y-globulins (directed against the rat heart enzyme) and is heparin-relea...
متن کاملTwo different mechanisms are involved in nutritional regulation of lipoprotein lipase in guinea-pig adipose tissue.
Lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue responds rapidly to changes in the physiological state. To study what mechanisms are involved in the regulation, guinea pigs were fasted and the decrease in adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity was compared with the decreases in mRNA and lipase synthesis. The mRNA pattern (three species) did not change. There was a close parallelism between th...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase genes and plasma lipid values in the Czech population.
We have determined the genotypes of two common polymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase (S447X) and hepatic lipase (-480C/T) genes in a cohort of 285 representative selected Czech probands (131 male and 154 female), examined in 1988 and reinvestigated in 1996. The genotype distributions of both polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and did not differ between male and female subjects. ...
