title: The validation and use of specific methods for the estimation of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities in post-heparin plasma of children with hyperlipidaemia.
abstract: The methods proposed by Nilsson-Ehle and Ekman [8] for the specific estimation of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities in post-heparin plasma were investigated. The procedure for hepatic lipase was found to be specific, but the lipoprotein lipase assay required modification to abolish hepatic lipase interference. The modified procedures were fully validated and found to be relatively simple, rapid and specific and were used to investigate children with primary and secondary hyperlipidaemic states.
