  • Title: Lipase regulation of muscle triglyceride hydrolysis.
    Author: Oscai LB, Essig DA, Palmer WK.
    Journal: J Appl Physiol (1985); 1990 Nov; 69(5):1571-7. PubMed ID: 2272948.
    Abstract:
    The cellular control of intramuscular triglyceride (TG) metabolism involves two major identified lipases: hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Recently, the presence of HSL in muscle has been unequivocally demonstrated. However, although it is thought that HSL is responsible for intramuscular TG lipolysis, direct evidence for this is lacking. There is evidence to suggest that HSL and LPL are simultaneously activated under a variety of conditions. The two muscle lipases appear to be turned on by the same signal and function as a coordinated unit in meeting the energy demands of muscle. At a time when HSL is presumably hydrolyzing endogenous TG, LPL is sent to the capillary beds in search of substrate. TG uptake from circulation is highly related to muscle LPL activity. Exercise training increases LPL activity in plasma and in parenchymal cells in muscle. These results suggest that training may increase the capacity to clear TG from circulation and that LPL might have a role in replenishing muscle TG stores that have been decreased with exercise.
