Abstract

The hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase of a very low density lipoprotein/chylomicron fraction, obtained from the intestinal lymph of sheep, has been studied in vitro. Rapid hydrolysis of triacylglycerols, with an accumulation of free fatty acids, was observed. After an initial lag period, phosphatidylcholine also was hydrolyzed. No specificity for particular fatty acids in the triacylglycerols (or phosphatidylcholines) was observed.
