title: A simple lipase assay using trichloroacetic acid.
abstract: An extremely rapid and sensitive assay for lipoprotein lipase activity, suitable for routine determinations, is described. The substrate for the assay is emulsified [2-(3)H]glyceryl trioleate, activated by serum. The method is based on trichloroacetic acid precipitation of unreacted substrate and measurement of (3)H-labeled glycerol.
