Suggests TG clearance defect in hypertriglyceridemia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does plasma lipoprotein lipase activity after heparin injection differ between subjects with normal triglycerides and those with hypertriglyceridemia?
Patients with hypertriglyceridemia have significantly lower heparin-released plasma lipoprotein lipase activity, suggesting a triglyceride clearance defect.
Jonas Boberg (1972) studied this question.
