Folic acid and lipoprotein lipase from aorta and blood plasma of atherosclerotic rats.
The lipoprotein lipase activity is somehow associated with atherosclerosis, and some publications report a protective effect of this enzyme against infiltration of lipids. In this publication, an atherogenic diet was associated with a decrease of this enzyme in aorta and blood plasma of rats. After administration of folic acid, a significant increase of the clearing factor activity was observed.
