Abstract

We studied the role and clinical implications of preheparin serum lipoprotein lipase mass( preheparin LPL mass). Among hyperlipidemic patients, preheparin LPL mass in type IIa was almost equal to that of normal control, but those in type IV and IIb were significantly lower. In non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, preheparin LPL mass was significantly lower than controls. HbAlc was negatively correlated with preheparin LPL mass. An insulin-sensitizer troglitazone administration to noninsulindependent diabetes mellitus patients enhanced preheparin LPL mass and HDL-cholesterol, accompanying with decreases in HbAlc and triglycerides. Bezafibrate administration to type IIb or IV patients decreased triglyceride and increased HDL-cholesterol and preheparin LPL mass also.
