Abstract
Transport in the plasma of dietary and endogenously produced lipid provides for internal balance of caloric supply between the various organs and tissues. The normal metabolism of the lipoproteins responsible for this transport is dependent on the proper functioning of a group of lipolytic enzymes. Lipoprotein lipase is felt to be primarily responsible for hydrolysis of the triglycerides on chylomicra and the very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) before their uptake as fatty acids (or partial glycerides) by extra-hepatic tissues. The purification and characterization of lipoprotein lipases from several sources has progressed rapidly during the past four years. The first two papers in this workshop will discuss the lipoprotein lipase of bovine milk (Dr. Olivecrona) and that from plasma after heparin injection (Dr. Fielding).
