New advances in nervous system of lipoprotein lipase / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. LPL mainly hydrolyzes triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and provides free fatty acid (FFAs) for metabolic tissues. LPL acts as a molecular bridge between lipoproteins and cell surface lipoprotein receptors, facilitating lipoprotein uptake. Recent studies have shown that LPL is widely expressed in tissues. LPL has a variety of physiological functions, Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. LPL mainly hydrolyzes triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and provides free fatty acid (FFAs) for metabolic tissues. LPL acts as a molecular bridge between lipoproteins and cell surface lipoprotein receptors, facilitating lipoprotein uptake. Recent studies have shown that LPL is widely expressed in tissues. LPL has a variety of physiological functions, which regulates lipid metabolism and energy balance in the brain. Besides, it is closely related to Alzheimer's disease. This paper mainly reviews the latest research progress of LPL in the nervous system and provides new targets for the treatment and prevention.
