[Intravasal lipoproteid metabolism and age (author's transl)]

The post-heparin-lipolytic activity of women decreases in dependence on age. This age dependence is the result of a diminished activity of post-heparin-lipase of extrahepatic origin, whereas no age differences of the activities of hepatic lipase exist. There is a negative correlation between serum triglycerides and the post-heparin-lipolytic activity, especially between the enzyme of extrahepatic source and the triglyceride level, but not between the hepatic lipase and triglycerides. Serum-HDL-cholesterol correlated positively with the post-hepatic-lipolytic activity.
