[Semi-automatic assay of post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity (author's transl)]

A simple method for the assay of post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity is described. The substrate was a stable intralipid solution. The amount of fatty acids released in the 37 degrees C incubation medium was measured several time during the reaction course, by light absorption on a Technicon auto-analyzer. By plotting these values on a graph paper, the curve of the post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity was obtained.
