Assay of an activator for lipoprotein lipase.
A method is described which enables the ability of human serum to activate guinea pig lipoprotein lipase to be measured in terms of an arbitrary standard. Evidence is offered which strongly suggests that the substance measured is also the activator of human lipoprotein lipase and observations on the relative levels of activator in human sera are given.
