Lipoprotein Lipase Activity in the Dog Pancreas and Pancreatic Juice. ∗

Abstract

Summary

1. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was demonstrated in canine pancreatic juice and pancreas. 2. The LPL activity of the pancreatic juice was augmented by stimulation with secretin and pancreozymin, the known hormonal stimulants of exocrine secretion of the pancreas. 3. An inhibitor(s) of the pancreatic LPL activity was suggested by dilution studies in pancreatic juice and in the pancreas. 4. The possible relationship of the pancreatic LPL activity and its inhibitor(s) to the lipemia accompanying acute pancreatitis is discussed.
