Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity in carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia in mice. An immunofluorescent method for identification of isolated thyrotropic cells

Summary

Feeding to mice of both basal as well as high sucrose diet led to increased levels of plasma triglycerides, which was associated with increased lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity. Although males had significantly higher LCAT activity than females in all the dietary groups, sex difference in the plasma triglycerides was observed in high sucrose group only. Increase in plasma triglycerides in experimental groups was associated with an increase in LCAT activity.
