Difference Between Lipoprotein Lipase and Hormone Sensitive Lipase

Difference Between Lipoprotein Lipase and Hormone Sensitive Lipase

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an adipocyte enzyme that cleaves fatty acids from circulating lipoproteins. Fatty acids enter the cell to be oxidized or esterified. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is an adipocyte enzyme that cleaves fatty acids from intracellular triacylglycerol. The HSL is activated by phosphorylation.

What does hormone-sensitive lipase do?

The main function of hormone-sensitive lipase is to mobilize the stored fats. HSL functions to hydrolyze either a fatty acid from a triacylglycerol molecule, freeing a fatty acid and diglyceride, or a fatty acid from a diacylglycerol molecule, freeing a fatty acid and monoglyceride.

What is the main function of lipoprotein lipase?

Lipoprotein lipase plays a critical role in breaking down fat in the form of triglycerides, which are carried from various organs to the blood by molecules called lipoproteins.

What reaction is catalyzed by lipoprotein lipase or lipase?

Lipoprotein lipase catalyses the partial hydrolysis of the core triglycerides of chylomicrons and VLDL to monoglycerides and fatty acids. The fatty acids are taken up by the tissue and either re-esterified and stored (in adipose tissue), utilized as an energy source (in muscle) or secreted (in lactating breast tissue).

What activates lipoprotein lipase?

For example, insulin is known to activate LPL in adipocytes and its placement in the capillary endothelium. By contrast, insulin has been shown to decrease expression of muscle LPL. Muscle and myocardial LPL is instead activated by glucagon and adrenaline.

What hormones stimulate lipolysis?

The following hormones induce lipolysis: noradrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), glucagon, growth hormone and cortisol (although cortisol's actions are still unclear). These trigger G-protein-coupled receptors, which activate adenylate cyclase.

Does insulin activate hormone-sensitive lipase?

Taken together, these results suggest that the suppression of hormone-sensitive lipase by endogenous insulin in healthy, insulin-sensitive subjects is stronger than the stimulation by endogenous catecholamines.

What inhibits lipoprotein lipase?

Apolipoproteins (apo) C-I and C-III are known to inhibit lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, but the molecular mechanisms for this remain obscure. We present evidence that either apoC-I or apoC-III, when bound to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, prevent binding of LPL to the lipid/water interface.

How is lipase regulated?

Pancreatic lipase (PL) is the main enzyme responsible for digestion of dietary triglycerides. ... PL and its related protein PLRP1, a homologous protein of unknown function (2), are secreted by the pancreas and regulated by dietary fat (3–5).

Does lipase break down cholesterol?

Lipase enzymes help break down the fats in our cholesterol. Protease enzymes taken twice daily on an empty stomach will help break down the protein portion of the cholesterol.

What causes lipase deficiency?

Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency is caused by a defective gene that is passed down through families. People with this condition lack an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase. Without this enzyme, the body cannot break down fat from digested food. Fat particles called chylomicrons build up in the blood.

Where is lipase used?

Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

How do you increase lipoprotein lipase?

Overall the data suggest that raising the activity of lipoprotein lipase by dietary means, including the feeding of monounsaturated fat may increase HDL-C, reduce plasma triacylglycerol and other indices of MetS risk, and thus may decrease the incidence of vascular complications through the normalization of lipid ...
