Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a well established and the most common cause of
acute pancreatitis (AP) after alcohol and gall stone disease. It is alleged to account for up to …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) catalyses the hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol component of
circulating chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins, thereby providing non-esterified …

Although it has been known for over 50 years that lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes
triglyceride in chylomicrons, during the past half decade there has been a reinterest in the …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a major role in the lipid homeostasis mainly by mediating the
intravascular lipolysis of triglyceride rich lipoproteins. Impaired LPL activity leads to the …

The liver sieve, formed by the fenestrated hepatic sinusoidal endothelium, is a dynamic
biofilter separating the hepatic blood from the plasma within the space of Disse. It filters …

The aim of these studies was to explore the possibility that enhanced triacylglycerol
clearance may contribute to the hypotriacylglycerolemic effect of n-3 fatty acids in humans …

Lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1. 1.34; LPL) is a key enzyme regulating the disposal of lipid fuels
in the body. It is expressed in a number of peripheral tissues including adipose tissue …

Lipoprotein lipase and the receptor-associated protein (RAP) bind to overlapping sites on
the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein/α 2-macroglobulin receptor (LRP). We …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes triglycerides from circulating lipoproteins, releasing free
fatty acids. Active LPL is needed to prevent hypertriglyceridemia, which is a risk factor for …
