[Lipoprotein lipase in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis]

The authors determined the activity of lipoprotein lipase in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid in 25 patients with exacerbation of multiple sclerosis and in 20 controls. A significant decrease in the activity of the enzyme was found in blood of the patients, while only trace activity was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid in both groups. The significant decrease of lipoprotein lipase activity in blood of patients the with multiple sclerosis requires further investigations.
