Drosophila Lipase 3 Mediates the Metabolic Response to Starvation and Aging
The human LIPA gene encodes for the enzyme lysosomal acid lipase, which hydrolyzes cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol. Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency results in Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease.

Lipase - Catalyzed glycerolysis of sunflower oil to produce partial glycerides.
Partial glycerides were prepared by glycerolysis of sunflower oil in presence of lipase enzyme as catalyst. Six lipases of different origins were used and compared for their catalytic activity.

Colorimetric Measurement of Triglycerides Cannot Provide an Accurate Measure of Stored Fat Content in Drosophila [PDF]
Drosophila melanogaster has recently emerged as a useful model system in which to study the genetic basis of regulation of fat storage. One of the most frequently used methods for evaluating the levels of stored fat (triglycerides) in flies is a coupled ...

Three polymorphisms associated with low hepatic lipase activity are common in African Americans
We have shown previously that a hepatic lipase allele (designated –514T) is common among African Americans and contributes to low hepatic lipase activity in this population.

Homology of lipoprotein lipase to pancreatic lipase. [PDF]
Bovine milk lipoprotein lipase was subjected to amino acid sequence analysis. The first 19 amino-terminal residues were Asp-Arg-Ile-Thr-Gly-Gly-Lys-Asp-Phe-Arg-Asp-Ile-Glu-Ser-Lys-Phe-Ala-Leu- Arg. In addition, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of a tryptic digest of reduced and alkylated lipase resolved a number of peptides, five ...

Evaluation of Canine Pancreas-Specific Lipase Activity, Lipase Activity, and Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity in an Experimental Model of Acute Kidney Injury in Dogs. [PDF]
BackgroundDiagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs is complicated by extrapancreatic disorders that can alter the results of laboratory tests. Extrapancreatic disorders can also affect the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

Synthesis of hepatic lipase in liver and extrahepatic tissues
Immunoprecipitations of hepatic lipase from pulse-labeled rat liver have demonstrated that hepatic lipase is synthesized in two distinct molecular weight forms, HL-I (Mr = 51,000) and HL-II (Mr = 53,000).

Steady state fluorescence studies on lipase-vesicle interactions [PDF]
The interaction of lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) with positively charged polymerizable surfactant vesicles was studied by the use of steady-state fluorescence techniques. The phase transition of vesicles composed of nonpolymerized and polymerized

Superfluous amylase/lipase testing at a tertiary care hospital: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND: Measuring both serum amylase and lipase in the setting of acute pancreatitis is not recommended and monitoring changes in amylase and lipase levels after diagnostic results is of little added value.
