title: The effect of short-term starvation on the lipoprotein lipase activity of adipose tissue and cardiac muscle during postnatal development of the rat.
abstract: When male rats of between 6 and 13 days of age were starved for 6 h the lipoprotein lipase activity of the epididymal and subcutaneous white adipose tissue did not decline as it did in adults and in animals aged 14-30 days. The lipoprotein lipase activity in the hearts of animals from 6 days of age increased in response to starvation as it did in adults. The relationship of these changes to changes in circulating hormone levels during development was considered.
