Lipoprotein lipase of human postheparin plasma and adipose tissue in relation to physical training

Abstract

Adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase and postheparin plasma triglyceride lipase activities were measured in 28 men differing in their physical training activity. They were divided into 4 subclasses based on their training intensity. The two most active classes (17 subjects) having regular heavy exercise at least 4 times a week were considered as the actively training group, and the other two (11 subjects) classes not training regularly as the control group. In postheparin plasma, the lipoprotein lipase activities were not different between the two groups, whereas training subjects had significantly (Pr=0.38, P<0.05) was obtained between the adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity and the level of physical activity. Our data suggest that even moderate inter‐group differences in the physical training activity are reflected as measurable alterations in the adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity in man.
