| مستخلص: | Hepatic lipase (HL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were assayed in heparinized plasma from male normocholesterolaemic (SW) and genetically hypercholesterolaemic (RICO) rats. Both strains were fed on either a semi-purified control diet or the same diet enriched with 0.5% or 1% cholesterol. HL activity was similar in both groups of rats fed on the control diet. LPL activity was found to be significantly lower in RICO rats (35% decrease, P less than 0.05). Feeding with a high-cholesterol diet led to a decrease in HL activity (15-23%) in both groups of rats but no change was detected in LPL activity, which remained consistently lower in the RICO rats. Thus, with the control diet, LPL activity is lower in RICO rats but presumably is not rate-limiting for their triacylglycerol clearance, given the normal triacylglycerol levels present. After cholesterol feeding, however, the lower LPL activity may become rate-limiting together with the decrease in HL activity, as in these circumstances hypertriacylglycerolaemia was evident and the hypercholesterolaemia of this strain was further increased. |
