Hypothesis-generating in rats; leaves open hepatic lipase as a therapeutic target pending human validation.
Absolute Event Rate: 62% vs 12%
In vivo inhibition of hepatic lipase in rats leads to enrichment of apolipoprotein B-48 in the LDL fraction, supporting its role as a phospholipase and in chylomicron catabolism.
Daggy et al. (1986) studied this question. Goat anti-rat hepatic lipase serum vs. Control rats was evaluated on Apolipoprotein B-48 as a percentage of total apolipoprotein B in the LDL fraction. Inhibition of hepatic lipase in rats significantly enriched the LDL fraction with apolipoprotein B-48 (62% of total apolipoprotein B vs. 12% in controls).
