Lipase activity in the human aorta

The hydrolysis of triglycerides by grossly normal male human aortas has been studied in vitro. The tissue contains an acid lipase (pH optimum, 5.4) and an alkaline lipase (pH optimum, 8.8). Both lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of saturated triglycerides; the rate decreases with increasing fatty acyl...
