What Causes Familial Hyperchylomicronemia Syndrome? FCS happens because of a mutation in certain genes related to an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LpL). You have to get the mutated gene from ...

Effects of statins, fish oils and their combination on lipoprotein secretion rate (not lipid levels) and conversion. P-OM3 and atorvastatin lower triglyceride levels by different mechanisms.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a key enzyme in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, 6 is constitutively expressed by macrophages 7 and synthesized by parenchymal cells of various tissues.

Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a major risk factor for acute pancreatitis. In exceptional cases, it is caused by plasma components inhibiting lipoprotein lipase activity. This phenomenon is ...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a dimeric enzyme that is responsible for clearing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the blood. Although LPL plays a key role in cardiovascular health, an experimentally ...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has an important role in metabolism and transporting of lipids. It plays a major role in hydrolysis of chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins. The LPL gene has 10 ...

Specific antibodies are essential tools for studying proteins. P66 is a chicken polyclonal antibody raised against bovine lipoprotein lipase (LPL) that has been used in earlier studies. Here, we ...

Findings could help explain the links between macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease, which both worsen with age.

Brisk walking can increase "good" HDL cholesterol and potentially lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. Learn how much (and how fast) ...
