3T3-L1 adipocytes were used to test the hypothesis that hormone-sensitive lipolysis and lipoprotein lipase activity might be regulated in a reciprocal manner. Intracellular lipolysis was stimulated by catecholamine, dibutyryl cAMP, and ACTH, but not by glucagon. The effects of epinephrine on lipolysis were blocked by the beta-antagonist propanolol but not by the alpha-antagonist phentolamine. Hormone-stimulated lipolysis was not changed by acute (45 min) or chronic (2 days) treatment of the cells with insulin whereas the latter treatment augmented lipoprotein lipase activity about fivefold. Epinephrine did not affect the lipoprotein lipase activity of insulin-stimulated cells. Withdrawal of glucose from the medium decreased lipoprotein lipase activity and the effect of epinephrine on lipolysis. Effects of lipolytic agents on activity of lipoprotein lipase were variable and concentration-dependent. Lipoprotein lipase activity was decreased only by concentrations of epinephrine greater than those inducing maximal intracellular lipolysis, and the decrease in activity occurred about 30 min after the increase in glycerol release. There seems to be no relationship between the level of activity of lipoprotein lipase and the maximal rate of hormone-stimulated lipolysis in 3T3-L1 cells. Unlike in adipose tissue and adipocytes of rats, hormone-stimulated lipolysis and lipoprotein lipase activity in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes appear to be regulated independently.

Purpose: Genetic testing is required to confirm a diagnosis of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). We assessed the pathogenicity of variants identified in the FCS canonical genes to diagnose FCS cases.
Methods: 245 patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia underwent next-generation sequencing.

Graphical Abstract Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mediates peripheral tissue triglyceride (TG) uptake. Hepatic ANGPTL3 (A3) and ANGPTL8 (A8) form a complex and inhibit LPL activity in the white adipose tissue (WAT) via systematic circulation. ANGPTL4 (A4) is expressed in WAT and inhibits LPL activity locally.

Background: The differential impact of serum lipids and their targets for lipid modification on cardiometabolic disease risk is debated. This study used Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal relationships and underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Genetic variants related to lipid profiles and targets for lipid modification were sourced from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium.

Acute pancreatitis is a frequent cause of hospital admission, managed with intravenous (IV) fluids, analgesia, and oral feeding when tolerated. In patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis, insulin and other therapies may be necessary for disease resolution. We present a case of a patient with severe acute pancreatitis and euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with known lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1) gene mutations, which can impact insulin efficacy on triglyceride metabolism through altered lipoprotein lipase activity, successfully treated with intravenous insulin.
