Triacylglycerol lipase with maximal activity at pH 5 was present in adult and fetal lung. The activity was inhibited by serum concentrations used to measure lipoprotein lipase and by 0.5 M NaCl. The activity in homogenates from fetal lung was about 40% of the activity in adult lung homogenates. The activity increased to 80% of the adult levels during the first 24-48 h following birth. Acidic tr...

In this study a total of 26 microorganisms were isolated for lipase production. Yeast strain possessing the highest lipase activity was identified as Sporobolomyces salmonicolor, and subjected to mutagenesis to increase the enzyme production. Effect of pH, temperature and medium composition on lipase production was studied. Sporobolomyces salmonicolor a novel yeast was isolated from oil spillag...

Endothelial lipase (EL) is a new member of the triglyceride lipase gene family previously reported to have phospholipase activity. Using radiolabeled lipid substrates, we characterized the lipolytic activity of this enzyme in comparison to lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) using conditioned medium from cells infected with recombinant adenoviruses encoding each of the enzymes. In ...

Lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue and muscle is modulated by changes in the pattern of food intake. We have measured total lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue and muscle of male Wistar rats (N = 6-10), weighing 200-250 g (~12 weeks), during the refeeding/fasting state following 24 h of fasting. Lipoprotein lipase activity in tissue homogenates was evaluated using a [3H]-tr...

BACKGROUND There is completely no report about both hen egg anti-lipase immunoglobulin yolk (IgY) and its anti-obesity action. Thus, we tried to isolate and characterize a novel anti-lipase immunoglobulin from hen egg yolk. Moreover, we investigated whether hen egg yolk anti-lipase IgY inhibits pancreatic lipase activity in vitro, and examined its ability to prevent obesity in a murine high fat...

In the present study, a purified lipase from Bacillus aerius immobilized on celite matrix was used for synthesis of ethyl ferulate. The celite-bound lipase exposed to glutaraldehyde showed 90.02% binding efficiency. It took two hours to bind maximally onto the support. The pH and temperature optima of the immobilized lipase were same as those of free enzyme i.e 9.5 and 55°C. Among different sub...

A comparative study of various treatments for inhibition of the residual activity of a lipase (obtained from Bacillus coagulans MTCC-6375) in a colorimetric assay using p-nitrophenyl palmitate (pNPP) was made. Direct chilling of contents of reaction mixture or addition of chilled mixture of ethanol : acetone (1:1) decreased the residual lipase activity by 94.0 and 95.0% respectively, as compare...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for the treatment of many complex diseases. However, the bioactive components are always undefined. In this study, a bioactivity-based method was developed and validated to screen lipase inhibitors and evaluate the effects of processing on the lipase inhibitory activity of TCM by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole...

Selection for oat cultivars with lower lipase activity may be important for other purposes. Lipase may have Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a potentially economically viable source a role in the initiation of oxidative rancidity by some of lipase, an enzyme used in foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which occurs on the surface of oat caryopses (groats). The objectives lipoxygenases that cause off-...
