Effects of sphingomyelin and cholesterol on lipoprotein lipase-mediated lipolysis in lipid emulsions

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes triacylglycerol (TG) of TG-rich lipoproteins. We investigated the effects of sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) on the lipolysis of lipid emulsions by LPL using human apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) or plasma as an activator. Kinetic studies of the lipolysis...
