RESUMO

Lipoprotein lipase activity (LLA) was measured in the adipose tissue of six healthy subjects and five members of a family in whom the trait for familial exogenous hypertriglyceridemia was segregating. The lipase activity measured was characteristic of lipoprotein lipase: increased by feeding, dependent on the presence of serum, and inhibited by sodium chloride and protamine sulfate. When compared with lipase activity in healthy individuals, LLA was grossly deficient in two siblings with postabsorptive chylomicronemia and was intermediate in both parents and one sibling, who had normal postabsorptive triglycerides. These findings are compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance. The hormone-sensitive lipolytic enzyme responsible for mobilization of free fatty acids from adipose storage was normal in the hyperlipemic subjects.
