Study on Lipoprotein Lipase and Hepatic Triglyceride Lipase Activities in Patients with Gout

  • Chapter
Purine and Pyrimidine Metabolism in Man VIII

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 370))

Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is frequently observed in patients with gout whose first cause of death in Japan is coronary heart disease. However, its mechanism still remains undetermined. Until recently hypertriglyceridemia has not been accepted as an independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis, and it has often been ignored in clinical practice. However, recent epidemiological studies showed that hypertriglyceridemia might indeed be a risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis1. To clarify the etiology of hypertriglyceridemia in patients with gout, the relationship between postheparin lipolytic enzyme activity, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL), and serum lipids was investigated.
