Abstract
The activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of rats fed glucose- or fructose-based diets containing fish oil, corn oil or tallow was examined. In addition, heart LPL activity was measured in rats fed a glucose-based diet containing either corn oil or fish oil. Adipose tissue LPL activity was unaffected by dietary fat. In both heart and skeletal muscle, LPL activity was higher in rats fed the fish oil diet. These results suggest that increased removal of triglyceride by muscle may contribute to the blood triglyceride lowering effect of dietary fish oil.Entities:
