Abstract: | An enzymatic method for the determination of the amount of free fatty acids released from triglyceride by lipoprotein lipase is described. The quantity of free fatty acids present in media before and after incubation is measured spectrophotometrically by the oxidation of NADH in the final reaction of a series of coupled enzymatic reactions. This assay for lipoprotein lipase is unlike previously described assays in that radioactive substrates or titration procedures are not used in the free fatty acid determination. In addition, another method for assay of lipoprotein lipase activity that involves the separation of free fatty acids from triglycerides by adsorption chromatography with Florisil as a stationary phase is described. |
