Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the key enzyme in the intravascular hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL). Furthermore, it has been shown that inactive LPL can mediate cellular binding and uptake of TRL in vitro. This study investigated whether LPL is bound to postprandial human TRL in vivo, and whether it plays a role in the hepatic clearance of these particles independent of its catalytic activity. LPL...
