Effectors of lipoprotein lipase secretion from isolated cardiac muscle cells incubated in vitro

Cycloheximide, colchicine, tunicamycin, glucagon, dibutyryl-3′–5′-cyclic AMP, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone had no effect on the lipoprotein lipase activity associated with rat cardiac muscle cells incubated $\text{in vitro}$. However, the steroid hormones and inhibitors affected profoundly the appearance of extracellular enzyme during the incubations. The pattern of effects, was consistent with lipoprotein lipase being a normal secretory product of heart muscle cells.
