Abstract
Summary
1. Increased lipoprotein lipase response has been observed in patients with Laennec's cirrhosis. 2. When compared with Laennec's cirrhotics, a small group of patients with recent myocardial infarction (presumptive evidence of coronary atherosclerosis) demonstrated a higher serum cholesterol/lipid phosphorus ratio with a lower lipoprotein lipase response. 3. Hypoalbuminemia in Laennec's cirrhosis produced no depressant effect on lipoprotein lipase response. 4. Other types of hepatic pathology and jaundice have demonstrated a variable lipoprotein lipase response, but no apparent increase.
