Adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity and cellularity in the genetically obese Zucker rat (<i>fa</i>/<i>fa</i>) (<i>Short Communication</i>)

Abstract

The lipoprotein lipase activity per adipocyte was increased in the genetically obese rat (fa/fa). However, there was no difference between obese and lean animals when the enzyme activities were related to adipocyte surface area. The possible implications of the findings are discussed.
