[Monoglyceride lipase. A new diagnostic liver and thrombocyte enzyme]

Monoglyceride hydrolase can be found in blood bound to thrombocytes or as free enzyme after the injection of heparin. Measurement can be performed easily with a new photometric method. The post-heparin activity is decreased in liver disease. This is probably due to the fact, that monoglyceride hydrolase is liberated from the liver's vessels.
