The enzymes released into both human and rabbit plasmas by heparin injection hydrolyzed, in addition to triglyceride moieties of lipoproteins, a number of mono- and diglycerides of C16 and C18 fatty acids after in vitro addition of the unemulsified glycerides to the plasma. In human postheparin plasma, these enzymes also hydrolyzed glycerides of butyric and caproic acids. The pure triglycerides and methyl or ethyl esters of C16 and C18 fatty acids were not substrates. The heparin-released activities for the hydrolysis of glycerides added in vitro persisted after all activity for the lipolysis of lipoproteins had been destroyed by heat. These activities also differed from lipoprotein lipase activity with respect to the effects of 1 m NaCl, dialysis, and aging the plasma at 4 C. It appears that heparin releases into the blood more than one enzyme or more than one form of an enzyme which may be involved in a stepwise degradation to fatty acids and glycerol of the triglyceride moieties of lipoproteins of density less than 1.007 g/ml.

Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins deliver fatty acids to tissues for oxidation and for storage. Release of fatty acids from circulating lipoprotein triglycerides is carried out by lipoprotein lipase (LPL), thus LPL serves as a critical gatekeeper of fatty acid uptake into tissues. LPL activity is regulated by a number of extracellular proteins including three members of the angiopoietin-like family of proteins. In this review we discuss our current understanding of how, where, and when ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8 regulate lipoprotein lipase activity, with a particular emphasis on how these proteins interact with each other to coordinate triglyceride metabolism and fat partitioning.
