Abstract
The activities of cholesteryl ester hydrolase, di- and monoglyceride acyltransferase, glycerokinase, triglyceride lipase and lipoprotein lipase in the ovary of the laying hen were assayed by standard methods in vitro. Except for lipoprotein lipase, all enzymes showed significant activities, which, however, were incompatible with the hypothesis that the lipid moieties of plasma lipoproteins undergo extensive transformation during transfer into the egg yolk. It is suggested that these enzymes function exclusively in the metabolism of the follicular cells.
