Lipase activity in duodenal juice is known to undergo important variations in pathologic states, especially in cases of chronic pancreatitis. Almost all of the current assay methods are based on the measurement of hydrolysis of olive oil or triolein, mainly by potentiometry. As we have developed a conductimetric method for enzyme activity measurements, we have applied it to lipase assay. A higher experimental conductimetric sensitivity is obtained when liberated acids have a short chain (higher limiting equivalent conductivity). We have therefore used triacetin as a substrate and compared out method with potentiometry (pH-stat) and spectrophotometry. The correlation coefficients of both methods with conductimetry were 0.94 and 0.97, respectively, indicating that the conductimetric method may be used for lipase assay in duodenal juice, using triacetin as a substrate.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of pachymic acid on brown/beige adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism in preadipocytes 3T3-L1 MBX.
Methods: The brown cocktail method was employed to induce 3T3-L1 MBX cells to differentiate into beige adipocytes. The impact of pachymic acid on the viability of 3T3-L1 MBX preadipocytes was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay.

In this study, we propose a continuous assay that provides a high-throughput, efficient method for screening the regioselectivity of lipases at the sn-1,3 and sn-2 positions on triacylglycerols (TAGs). This assay measures the specific hydrolysis rates at the primary and secondary positions of TAGs derivates containing oleic (O) and punicic (P) acids. The method is based on the absorbance ratio of released punicic acid from the hydrolysis of sn-POP (sn-1,3 regiospecific lipases) and sn-OPO (sn-2 regiospecific lipases).

Background And Aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and other disorders with similar features are common genetic disorders that remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, due in part to the cost of screening. The aim of this study was to design and implement a whole gene targeted NGS panel for the molecular diagnosis of FH and statin intolerance with an emphasis on high quality variant calling, including copy number analysis.
Methods: A whole gene panel for hybridisation-based short read NGS was designed for the dominant FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor (), apolipoprotein B (APOB), proproteinconvertas subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), apolipoprotein E (APOE) and the recessive FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (), ATP binding cassette subfamily member 5/8 (ABCG5/8) and lipase A, lysosomal acid type (), as well as solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (), not an FH gene but linked to statin intolerance.
