Studies of the effect of heparin injections on the serum lipoproteins of man and animals are in progress in several laboratories. Gofman and his collaborators have shown that heparin injection results in the larger lipoprotein complexes being converted to smaller ones as shown by the changes in ultra-centrifugal flotation patterns; see, for instance, Graham, Lyon, Gofman, Jones, Yankley, Simont...

Saponins isolated from Medicago sativa L. appeared to stimulate lipolytic activity and did not influence amylolytic or proteolytic activity of Neopancreatinum (extract of pancreatic enzymes: lipase, proteases and amylases). Saponins isolated from the aerial part of Medicago sativa L. were demonstrated to stimulate lipase activity more effectively than saponins separated from the root of this pl...

To determine the putative metabolic relevance of preheparin versus postheparin lipoprotein lipases, the relationships of both pre- and postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) to plasma triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were determined in 93 men. Relationships of preheparin lipases to their...
