Thrombin Inhibition of the Lipoprotein Lipase System

Abstract
The blood coagulation enzyme, thrombin, has been found to act as a potent inhibitor of the lipoprotein lipase system. All other blood coagulation factors when tested individually were without inhibitory action. Analysis of our present knowledge of the physiological role of the lipoprotein lipase system suggests an atherogenic role for the thrombin inhibition phenomenon. Submitted on June 21, 1957
