Abstract
The intravascular metabolism of lipoproteins represents a complex interplay between enzymatic reactions, nonenzymatic transfer of lipoprotein components between lipoprotein particles, and receptor-mediated uptake of lipoprotein particles in various organs. Three lipases, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and hepatic lipase (HL) represent important points of regulation in lipoprotein metabolism and are consequently major determinants for the concentrations of plasma-lipoproteins.
