11. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity
Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main enzyme hydrolyzing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma. Proteoglycan-bound LPL on the vascular endothelium represent the functional pool of active enzyme. LPL is regulated in a tissue specific manner according to metabolic demands. READ MORE

12. Regulation of Lipoprotein Lipase Activity : an In-vitro Study of a Complex and Dynamic System
Abstract : The progress of human society outpaces our biological evolution, and this brings unexpected health problems. The industrial revolution brought up dramatic changes in nutrition and lifestyle – we are increasingly shifting towards a nutrient-rich Western-patterned diet and to a sedentary lifestyle. READ MORE

13. The metabolic syndrome : studies on thrifty genes
Abstract : The metabolic syndrome consists of a cluster of atherogenic risk factors that include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, obesity and a procoagulant state with impaired fibrinolysis. Genetic factors might predispose to the metabolic syndrome while the increasing prevalence of visceral and abdominal obesity linked to the shift to more sedentary lifestyles exacerbates the manifestation.

14. Lipoprotein lipase activity is reduced in dialysis patients. Studies on possible causal factors
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients on chronic haemodialysis (HD). One main contributing factor is renal dyslipidaemia, characterized by an impaired catabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins with accumulation of atherogenic remnant particles. READ MORE

15. Substrate oxidation and plasma elimination of a long-chain triglyceride emulsion
Abstract : Lipid emulsions based on long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) are frequently used during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and are usually administrated together with glucose. The metabolism of fat is determined by the underlying condition such as trauma, infection, malnutrition or age and also by substrate interaction when different nutrients are administrated simultaneously.
