An in vitro heparin release of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from whole blood, mainly from monocytes, was demonstrated by (1) the time-course of lipolytic activity with the presence of 10 U/ml heparin at 37.degree.C, (2) the distribution of LPL activity in monocyte and lymphocyte fractions, (3) an immuno-inactivation with anti-LPL immunoglobulin (IgG) and (4) responses to various compounds such as NaCl, protamine sulfate, heparin, and serum activator. The in vitro heparin-releasable LPL activity from blood correlated well with the LPL activity of postheparin plasma obtained from both normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic rabbits. Studies in humans revealed sex- and age-related variations in the in vitro heparin-releasable LPL from monocytes in the blood of 134 normal subjects and 24 hypertriglyceridemic subjects: The mean LPL activity was significantly higher in normal females over the age of 30, than in the corresponding males. In the hypertriglyceridemic group, the LPL activity was also higher in females than in males, but it was not significant. The in vitro heparin-releasable LPL activity from monocytes in blood was comparable to the LPL activity derived from adipose tissue and postheparine plasma and thus it reflects lipoprotein metabolism.
