TLDR
This sensitive chromogen system not only permits use of unusually small sample volumes, it also facilitates a linear response to serum triglyceride concentrations up to at least 10 g/L while displaying good Ringbom (measure of accuracy) characteristics.
Abstract
We describe an enzymatic method for rapid, precise measurement of serum triglycerides with use of sample:reagent ratios as large as 1:200. Hydrolysis of triglycerides is catalyzed by lipase to produce glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol generated is then phosphorylated by adenosine 5'-triphosphate in the presence of glycerol kinase. Oxidation of the resulting glycerol 3-phosphate to produce hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by L-alpha-glycerophosphate oxidase. An intense red chromogen is produced by the peroxidase-catalyzed coupling of 4-aminoantipyrene and sodium 2-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate with hydrogen peroxide. This sensitive chromogen system not only permits use of unusually small sample volumes, it also facilitates a linear response to serum triglyceride concentrations up to at least 10 g/L while displaying good Ringbom (measure of accuracy) characteristics.

Alternative growth and energy storage responses to mortality threats in damselflies

TL;DR: Examination of effects of predation risk on relationships between growth and storage molecules in Enallagma aspersum and Ischnura verticalis damselfly larvae found species differences at the physiological level to the presence of mortality threats may be crucial to understanding patterns in metamorphic and post-metamorphic traits.

The effect of dietary arachidonic acid on plasma lipoprotein distributions, apoproteins, blood lipid levels, and tissue fatty acid composition in humans.

TL;DR: The results indicate that dietary AA is incorporated into tissue lipids, but selectively into different tissues and lipid classes, and demonstrates that dietaryAA does not alter blood lipids or lipoprotein levels or have obvious adverse health effects at this level and duration of feeding.

Lipoprotein Lipase Binds to Low Density Lipoprotein Receptors and Induces Receptor-mediated Catabolism of Very Low Density Lipoproteins in Vitro

TL;DR: It is shown that LDL receptors also bind LPL and mediate LPL-dependent catabolism of large VLDL with Sf 100-400, and it is suggested that the carboxyl-terminal domain of LPL contributes to this interaction.

TL;DR: In this direct colorimetric procedure, serum triglycerides are hydrolyzed by lipase, and the released glycerol is assayed in a reaction catalyzed by glycersol kinase and L-alpha-glycerol-phosphate oxidase in a system that generates hydrogen peroxide.
