Abstract
The effects of porcine pancreatic elastase on post heparin lipolytic activity in rabbit plasma have been studied.
The results were as follows:
1) The direct stimulating action of porcine pancreatic elastase on lipoprotein lipase activity in post heparin plasma was not observed.
2) From the experiment presented with rabbit normal plasma, it appears that porcine pancreatic elastase biologically releases the stimulating factors of lipoprotein lipase activity.
3) The enhancement of lipoprotein lipase activity in post heparin plasma by α-chymotrypsin, trypsin and carboxypeptidase Aγ was not observed.
