Lipoprotein lipase activity in the tissues of guinea pigs exposed to different dietary fats from conception to three months of age.
Long-term exposure of guinea pigs to a diet rich in maize oil caused an increase in adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity. A similar diet rich in beef tallow had no such effect, and neither diet affected the enzyme activity in heart, lung, diaphragm or skeletal muscle.
