The -514 polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) is associated with decreased hepatic lipase activity. In the present study, the interaction between body mass index (BMI), the -514 polymorphism, and hepatic lipase activity was examined in 118 white men and in 51 African American men. BMI was significantly positively correlated with hepatic lipase activity in both populations. BMI was sim...

background: nowadays it is proofed that the uterine artery plays essential role in follicular growth and/or post parturition hemorrhagic. objective: this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bilateral uterine artery ligation (bual) on follicular fate and the probable histochemical changes of the carbohydrate and lipids in the ovaries of rabbits. materials and methods: 24 mature female ...

Addition of heparin to isolated fat cells incubated at 23” resulted in a 3-fold increase in release of lipoprotein lipase activity into the incubation medium. This increase in medium lipoprotein lipase activity was not due to enhancement or stabilization of lipase activity present in the medium. The maximum increase in lipoprotein lipase activity was obtained on addition of 0.1 unit of heparin ...

Dietary triglycerides are hydrolyzed in the small intestine principally by pancreatic lipase. Following uptake by enterocytes and secretion as chylomicrons, dietary lipids are cleared from the bloodstream via lipoprotein lipase. Whereas lipoprotein lipase is inhibited by several proteins including Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4), no endogenous regulator of pancreatic lipase has yet been identifie...

1. A selective immunochemical method was used to measure post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activity in eighty-two normal subjects and in twenty patients with type IIb, IV or V hypertriglyceridaemia. In twenty-six normal subjects the activity of post-heparin plasma lipases was compared with the kinetic parameters of endogenous plasma triglyceride metabolism. 2. The activi...

Lipase-producing bacterial strains were isolated from Antarctic soil samples using the tricaprylin agar plate method. Seven strains with relatively strong lipase activities were selected. All of them turned out to be Bacillus pumilus strains by the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Their corresponding lipase genes were cloned, sequenced, and compared. Finally, three different Bacillus pumilus li...

the effect of a neuropeptide, the tachykinin on α-amylase, protease and lipase activities in the midgut of american cockroach, periplaneta americana (linnaeus) is evaluated . immunohistochemical reactivities against tachykinin (tachykinin- ir) were detected in the midgut. tachykinin-ir cells in three regions (anterior, median and posterior) of the midgut were counted in normally fed, starved fo...

this study was conducted to evaluate histochemical alterations of river buffalo’s uterine wall acid andalkaline phosphatases (alp and acp), lipase and carbohydrate ratio during follicular and luteal phases.forty apparently healthy and non pregnant river buffalos were considered for removal of the uterus aftersacrifice in slaughterhouse. all dissected uteri were divided into two luteal (by obser...
