Uptake of hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoproteins and their remnants by HepG2 cells: the role of lipoprotein lipase, hepatic triglyceride lipase, and cell surface proteoglycans

Hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoproteins (HTG-VLDL, S(f) 60-400) are not taken up by HepG2 cells. However, addition of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase (LPL) at physiological concentrations markedly stimulates uptake. In the present study, we determined whether: a) LPL catalytic activity is...
