Abstract
Increased lipoprotein lipase response was observed in patients with Laennec''s cirrhosis. When compared with Laennec''s cirrhotics, a small group of patients with recent myocardial infarction (presumptive evidence of coronary atherosclerosis) demonstrated a higher serum cholesterol/lipid phosphorus ratio with a lower lipoprotein lipase response. Hypoalbuminemia in Laennec''s cirrhosis produced no depressant effect on lipoprotein lipase response. Other types of hepatic pathology and jaundice have demonstrated a variable lipoprotein lipase response, but no apparent increase.
