Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase have been shown to be present in the post-heparin plasma of sheep. Intravenous injection of heparin into sheep produced a rapid increase in the free fatty acid concentration and lipolytic enzyme activity of the plasma, both peaking within 5-15 min and then falling to pre-heparin levels within 30-60 min. Lipolytic activity was not detected in plasma before heparin treatment. Two distinct lipolytic activities were separated from the plasma by chromatography on heparin-Sepharose 6B. Lipoprotein lipase was identified on the basis that the lipolytic activity was dependent upon the addition of plasma, inhibited by 1M NaCl, and inhibited by a specific antiserum against lipoprotein lipase. The second lipolytic activity of plasma was identified as hepatic lipase, as it was not dependent upon plasma for activity, nor was it inhibited by 1M NaCl or antiserum against lipoprotein lipase. Its properties were identical to the lipase extracted from the liver of sheep. Lipoprotein-lipase activity, but not hepatic-lipase activity, was dependent upon the nutritional state of the sheep at the time of heparin injection. However, hepatic lipase comprised a significant proportion of the total lipolytic activity.  相似文献

For the design of new synthetic substrates for the assay of pancreatic lipases activity, acyl dialkylglycerols of variable chain length were prepared. Titrimetric assay of these substrates showed the highest lipolytic activity of porcine pancreas lipase (pPL) with butanoyl dibutylglycerol. The activity is lower but comparable to that shown by pPL towards the classical substrate tributyrin. The 4-nitrophenylcarbonate of 1,2-di-O-butylglycerol, has been prepared and proposed as synthetic substrate for a new spectrophotometric assay of pancreatic lipases.  相似文献

Whole-irradiated rabbit pre-heparin plasma had an important inhibitory effect on hepatic triacylglycerol lipase and lipoprotein lipase activities, whereas control rabbit pre-heparin plasma slightly inhibited hepatic triacylglycerol lipase activity at a high concentration and enhanced lipoprotein lipase activity. As some apolipoproteins were known to modulate these two lipolytic enzymes, the inhibitory effects of irradiated rabbit plasma were investigated in apolipoproteins. Three apolipoproteins, with isoelectric points of about 6.58, 6.44 and 6.12, characterized by their low content in threonine (threonine-poor apolipoproteins) were produced in high concentrations in rabbit VLDL and HDL after irradiation. The effects of these apolipoproteins on control rabbit post-heparin plasma hepatic triacylglycerol lipase and extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase were studied. Threonine-poor apolipoproteins substantially inhibited the hepatic triacylglycerol lipase activity and enhanced the apolipoprotein C-II-stimulated activity of lipoprotein lipase. The amounts of these apolipoproteins in triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein particles may determine the lipolytic activity of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triacylglycerol lipase in triacylglycerol hydrolysis. The existence of another inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase remains to be determined.  相似文献

The lipid-lowering effect of pantethine, a new drug affecting lipid metabolism, had been evaluated in carbohydrate-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Administration of the drug raised post-heparin lipolytic activities, the change being due to an increase in lipoprotein lipase activity, whereas hepatic lipase activity remained virtually unchanged. Total lipoprotein lipase activity per g of adipose tissue increased in pantethine-treated rats compared with controls. Furthermore, the soluble lipoprotein lipase of fat-pads was fractionated by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The first active peak, originated from the microsomal fractions, significantly increased after the drug treatment, while the second one, originated from the plasma membranes, remained unchanged. The increase in the microsomal lipoprotein lipase activity may be due to an increase in intracellular synthesis of lipoprotein lipase enzyme proteins. The heterogeneity of lipoprotein lipase of rat adipose tissues was ensured using affinity chromatography on heparin-Sepharose.  相似文献

Conditions for measurement of the lipolytic activities, lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triacylglycerol lipase in cynomolgus monkey postheparin plasma are described. The two activities are separable by heparin-Sepharose chromatography. Goat anti-human hepatic triacylglycerol lipase serum inhibits monkey hepatic triacylglycerol lipase activity and allows direct measurement of lipoprotein lipase in post-heparin plasma. While both human and homologous serum can be used as a source of activator apolipoprotein, homologous serum produces a much greater activation.  相似文献

A quantitative screening for intra- and extracellular lipolytic activity was performed in submerged cultures of four Thermus strains using two different media (named T or D medium). Major differences in the extracellular lipolytic activity were observed in T medium, the highest values being for Thermus thermophilus HB27 and Thermus aquaticus YT1 strains (18 and 33 U/L, respectively). Two enzymes with lipase/esterase activity were identified in the four Thermus strains by zymogram analysis, with molecular weights of 34 and 62 kDa. No kinetic typification of the enzymes as primary metabolites was possible for any of the Thermus strains, because of the lack of a good fitting of the experimental lipolytic activity production rates to the Luedecking and Piret model. However, a linear relationship was found between the absolute values of biomass and total lipase/esterase activity (sum of intracellular and extracellular). For T. thermophilus HB27, an increase in the aeration rate caused the increase in the production of biomass and, particularly, intracellular lipolytic activity but the extracellular lipolytic activity was not affected except for the series with the strongest oxygen limitation. Transmission electronic microscopy revealed that T. thermophilus HB27 formed rotund bodies surrounded by a common membrane in cultures in the early stationary phase. The results suggest the occurrence of a specific mechanism of lipase/esterase secretion that might be due to the different composition and permeability of the cell membranes and those surrounding the rotund bodies.  相似文献

The total cotyledon extract of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Coker 136) seedlings underwent lipolysis as measured by the release of fatty acids. The highest lipolytic activity occurred at pH 9. This lipolytic activity was absent in the dry seeds and increased after germination concomitant with the decrease in total lipids. Using spherosomes (lipid bodies) isolated from the cotyledons during the peak stage of lipolysis (5-7 days) as substrates, about 40% of the lipase activity was found in the glyoxysomes after organelle breakage had been accounted for; the remaining activity was distributed among other subcellular fractions but none was found in the spherosomal fraction. The glyoxysomal lipase had maximal activity at pH 9, and catalyzed the hydrolysis of tri-, di-, and monoacylglycerols of linoleic acid, the most abundant fatty acid in soybean. The spherosomes contained a neutral lipase that could hydrolyze monolinolein and N-methylindoxylmyristate, but not trilinolein. This spherosomal lipase activity dropped off rapidly during early seedling growth, preceding lipolysis. Spherosomes isolated from either dry or germinated seeds did not possess lipolytic activity, and spherosomes from germinated seeds but not from dry seeds could serve as substrates for the glyoxysomal lipase. It is concluded that the glyoxysomal lipase is the enzyme catalyzing the initial hydrolysis of storage triacylglycerols.  相似文献

A preparation of cerebral microvessels was used to demonstrate the presence of lipoprotein lipase and acid lipase activity in the microvasculature of rabbit brain. Microvessels, consisting predominantly of capillaries, small arterioles, and venules, were islated from rabbit brain. Homogenates were assayed for lipolytic activity using a glycerol-stabilized trioleoylglycerol-phospholipid emulsion as substrate. Lipoprotein lipase activity was characterized with this substrate by previously established criteria including an alkaline pH optimum, increased activity in the presence of heparin and heat-inactivated plasma, and reduced activity in the presence of NaCl and protamine sulfate. A different substrate, containing trioleoylglycerol incorporated into phospholipid vesicles, was used to reveal acid lipase activity that was not affected by heparin, plasma, NaCl, or protamine sulfate. Lipoprotein lipase did not show activity with the vesicle preparation as substrate. Intact microvessels, when incubated in the presence of heparin, release lipoprotein lipase into the incubation solution. In contrast, release of acid lipase activity from intact microvessels was not dependent on heparin. The data show the presence of both lipoprotein lipase and acid lipase in brain microvessels and suggest that lipoproteins are metabolized within the cerebral vasculature.  相似文献

1. The lipoprotein lipase activity measured in acetone-ether powders of tissues from White Carneau and Show Racer pigeons was invariably somewhat lower in the former compared with the latter species. 2. At 100 and 200 Units of heparin per kg body weight the peak post-heparin lipolytic activity present in the plasma of White Carneau pigeons was significantly lower than that for Show Racers. At 50 Units per kg, this position was reversed. 3. It was concluded that the White Carneau pigeon may have an impaired functional lipoprotein lipase capacity compared to the Show Racer control.  相似文献

The effects of saturated and polyunsaturated dietary fat on the lipolytic activity of post-heparin plasma, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) were studied in the rat. The lipolytic activity was studied from 0 to 60 min using labelled chylomicrons as the substrate. Triacylglycerol hydrolysis rate was higher for the plasma of rats fed high fat diets (14% fat by weight). Chylomicrons of rats fed saturated or unsaturated fats were hydrolyzed at the same rate within the first 15 min but afterwards hydrolysis of chylomicrons of rats fed saturated fat was slower. The activities of LPL and HTGL were increased by high fat diets. Unsaturated fat increased more LPL activity than saturated fat conversely, HTGL activity was enhanced more by saturated fat than by unsaturated fat.  相似文献

1. Liver contains a lipase which catalyzes in vitro the hydrolysis of esters of short-chain normal primary alcohols and fatty acids. It is shown that this enzymatic activity can be measured by using intact liver cells as source of enzyme. During short-term incubations of suspensions of cells isolated from rat liver, the lipase acts as a membrane-bound enzyme and readily attacks [3H] oleoylethanol added as an emulsion into the bathing medium. The lipolytic reaction proceeds linearly for at least 20 min at 37 degrees C, at the pH optimum of 8.5. [3H] Oleic acid, a reaction product, is mostly retained in the medium and is used to monitor the lipolytic process. 2. In the presence of heparin, the bound lipase is released in the medium in amounts representing one-third to one half the total activity contained in the cells. This release is very rapid and associated in all cases with a concomitant release of lactate dehydrogenase activity. Such effects are consistent with the interpretation that heparin, at concentrations comprised between 10 and 100 mug per ml, causes alterations of the plasma membrane of the isolated cells, resulting in the dispersion of membrane-bound and cytoplasmtic material. This action of heparin is totally blocked by protamine sulfate (1 mg/ml). No specific effect of heparin directed towards the selective release of lipase could be demonstrated under these conditions. 3. During incubations in the presence of heparin, it was observed that the release of monoester lipase was quantitatively related to a simultaneous decrease in membrane-bound as well as in total monoester lipase activity measureable in the cells after homogenization. This, along with the reappearance of membrane-bound activity immediately after heparin withdrawal, suggest that under the experimental conditions, the membrane-bound enzyme is replaced from inside the cell in proportion of its release by heparin.  相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is frequently associated with progressive loss of exocrine pancreas function, leading to incomplete digestion and absorption of dietary fat. Supplementing patients with pancreatic lipase reduces fat excretion, but it does not completely correct fat malabsorption, indicating that additional pathological processes affect lipolysis and/or uptake of lipolytic products. To delineate the role of such (post) lipolytic processes in CF-related fat malabsorption, we assessed fat absorption, lipolysis, and fatty acid uptake in two murine CF models by measuring fecal fat excretion and uptake of oleate- and triolein-derived lipid. Pancreatic and biliary function was investigated by determining lipase secretion and biliary bile salt (BS) secretion, respectively. A marked increase in fecal fat excretion was observed in cftr null mice but not in homozygous DeltaF508 mice. Fecal BS loss was enhanced in both CF models, but biliary BS secretion rates were similar. Uptake of free fatty acid was delayed in both CF models, but only in null mice was a specific reduction in lipolytic activity apparent, characterized by strongly reduced triglyceride absorption. Impaired lipolysis was not due to reduced pancreatic lipase secretion. Suppression of gastric acid secretion partially restored lipolytic activity and lipid uptake, indicating that incomplete neutralization of gastric acid impedes fat absorption. We conclude that fat malabsorption in cftr null mice is caused by impairment of lipolysis, which may result from aberrant duodenal pH regulation.  相似文献

Total plasma postheparin lipolytic activity as well as lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma was higher after heparin injection in thyroidectomized rats than in controls. In contrast, the activity of liver lipase was lower in thyroidectomized rats. Adipose tissue from thyroidectomized rats contained more lipoprotein lipase activity than adipose tissue from controls as measured both in extracts of tissue homogenates and medium from in vitro incubations of tissue pieces. There were no differences between control and hypothyroid rats in the disappearance of intravenously injected 125I-labeled lipoprotein lipase, but when a low dose of heparin was injected before the labeled enzyme, the disappearance of 125I-labeled lipoprotein lipase was more retarded in thyroidectomized rats. The elimination of heparin itself was slightly retarded by thyroidectomy.  相似文献

The lipolytic activity of the fungi Aspergillus and Rhizopus was studied on a medium with soybean flour. The lipolytic activity of the Aspergillus fungi was low or absent whereas many of the cultures belonging to the Rhizopus genus possessed the lipolytic activity. The effect of soybean flour components on lipase biosynthesis was studied with Geotrichum asteroides and Rhizopus cohnii AUCMF-597. The lipid component was shown to be necessary for lipase biosynthesis by G. asteroides and to stimulate lipase synthesis by Rh. cohnii AUCMF-597. Oleic acid is presumed to activate lipase biosynthesis by G. asteroides.  相似文献

The filamentous fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is a well-characterized, arthropod pathogen used in the biological control of arthropod pests. Studies on the regulation of enzymes related to host infection such as proteases and chitinases have been reported but little is known about regulation of lipolytic enzymes in this fungus. Here we present the effects of different carbon sources such as components of the arthropod cuticle on the secretion of lipolytic enzymes by M. anisopliae. Differences in the induction of lipolytic activity were observed between the several carbon sources tested. Higher activities of lipase or lipase/esterase were found in culture media containing the arthropod integument components chitin and cholesteryl stearate. Several bands of lipolytic activity were also detected in zymograms, thus suggesting an important set of lipolytic enzymes secreted by the fungus. These results show that the fungus can modulate the secretion of lipolytic activity in response to host integument components, thus reinforcing the potential role of these enzymes during M. anisopliae infection.  相似文献

Triacylglycerol lipase activities in tissues of Antarctic fishes   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
. The activity of the lipolytic enzyme, triacylglycerol lipase (TAG lipase; E.C. 3.1.1.3) was measured in heart ventricle, liver, oxidative skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue of four species of Antarctic fishes (Chaenocephalus aceratus, Notothenia coriiceps, Trematomus newnesi, Gobionotothen gibberifrons). Estimates of weight-specific activities at 0°C in tissues of the Antarctic fishes were broadly comparable to those reported for temperate-zone fish species assayed at their physiological temperature. Within each species, liver tissue displayed the highest weight-specific activity of TAG lipase in C. aceratus, T. newnesi, and G. gibberifrons, while adipose tissue of N. coriiceps showed the highest activity within that species. Combining these estimates with carefully measured somatic indices of the tissues, permitted assessment of the relative importance of different tissues to overall lipolytic capacity on an organismal level. On this basis, liver tissue displays the greatest capacity of TAG lipase per 100 g body weight in each of the species studied.  相似文献

S ummary . The lipolytic activity in supernatant fractions of cultures of Saccharomycopsis lipolytica, Micrococcus caseolyticus, Bacillus licheniformis , and a Staphylococcus sp. was studied. Nutrient broth with and without emulsified olive oil was used as substrate. Optimal pH values and temperatures for the lipase produced by the 4 different micro-organisms were determined. The lipolytic activity generally reached a maximum after incubation for 2–6 days. The subsequent decrease in the lipolytic activity was associated with a high proteolytic activity only for Micrococcus caseolyticus . The lipolytic activity was decreased by the presence of olive oil in the medium. Determination of the lipolytic activity after a certain time of incubation, the maximal lipolytic activity and a time-integrated lipolytic activity are compared as estimators for the potential hydrolytic capacity of micro-organisms.  相似文献

Following its secretion into the plasma compartment, the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is presumed to be acted upon by both soluble enzymes, such as lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), and membrane-associated enzymes, such as lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. Rats were injected intravenously with heparin to release membrane-associated lipolytic activities into the circulation and the collected plasma was incubated overnight at 37 degrees C in the presence or absence of an LCAT inhibitor or an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (1 M NaCl). It was observed that lipoprotein lipase accounted for most of the triglyceride hydrolase activity in the heparin-treated plasma, and that the heparin-releasable activities caused an increase in HDL density but no measurable change in particle size when LCAT was inhibited. Heparin treatment caused about a 60% decrease in plasma triacylglycerol during the interval between injection of heparin and blood collection. Although this caused marked compositional changes in the d less than 1.063 g/ml lipoproteins, no changes were observed in the lipid composition or apoprotein distribution in the HDL. Subsequent incubation for 18 h at 37 degrees C produced marked increases in the apoE content of HDL from heparin-treated plasma even when LCAT was inhibited. Time-course studies showed that in the presence of an LCAT inhibitor there was considerable conversion of phosphatidylcholine to lysophosphatidylcholine in heparin-treated plasma, and that this activity was diminished by 1 M NaCl, but that no phospholipolysis was observed in control plasma. By contrast, both heparin-treated and control plasma possessed substantial triglyceride hydrolase activity. The concurrent action of lipases and LCAT was observed to reduce the maximum level of cholesterol esterification which could be achieved in the absence of lipase activity. It is concluded that changes in HDL particle size are mainly attributable to LCAT, but that lipase activities, which are either free in rat plasma or releasable by heparin, play a role in restructuring the phospholipid moiety and altering the protein composition of the HDL, especially with respect to apoE, a potential ligand to cellular receptors.  相似文献

N-Acetylglucosamine and citrate promoted intensive dimorphic growth and significant lipase synthesis inYarrowia lipolytica. In contrast, use of a phosphate buffer instead of citrate for buffering the medium stimulated only dimorphic growth. No correlation between dimorphic growth and a high lipase synthesis studied in five different species of lipolytic yeasts was demonstrated. The data provide evidence against the inevitable linkage between the capability (and/or intensity) of mycelium formation and a high level of extracellular lipase in lipolytic yeasts.  相似文献
