title: Hepatic triglyceride lipase and lipoprotein lipase activities in post-heparin plasma of patients with various cancers.
abstract: The total post-heparin lipolytic activity (PHLA) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in post-heparin plasma of patients with various cancers were measured. In patients with cancers, PHLA was similar to that of controls, but the HTGL activity was decreased and the LPL activity was increased. Thus, in cancer patients the ratios of HTGL to PHLA were lower, and the ratios of LPL to PHLA were higher than in controls. No correlation was found between the plasma lipid level and HTGL or LPL activity.
