The effect of several hormones on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in superficial layer of the vastus lateralis (FG muscle) the deepest layer of the same muscle (FOG muscle) and in the soleus (SO muscle) was studied in the rat. It was found that adrenaline increased the enzyme activity in the FOG muscle, noradrenaline in the FOG and SO muscle and ACTH in each of the muscles studied. Cortisone and glucagon did not affect the enzyme activity in any of the muscles. Insulin reduced LPL activity in the muscles. Key-Words: Lipoprotein Lipase - Hormones - Skeletal Muscles - Rat
