Oxandrolone may enhance lipase activity in hypertriglyceridemia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does oxandrolone treatment alter postheparin plasma lipolytic and lipase activities in patients with hypertriglyceridemia?
Oxandrolone significantly increases postheparin plasma hepatic lipase and phospholipase A1 activities in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, without affecting lipoprotein lipase.
Ehnholm et al. (1975) studied this question.
