Effect of peptides on in vitro lipolysis of serum. Serum from a hypertriglyceridemic patient (TG = 302 mg/dl) or serum from an apoC-II deficient patient (TG = 638 mg/dl) was incubated in vitro with LPL alone or in conjunction with C-II-a (10 μmol/l), C-II-I (10 μmol/l), or full-length human apoC-II protein, and the appearance of FFAs was measured. Results represent the mean of triplicates ± S.D. *P < 0.05 compared with serum baseline; **P < 0.05 compared with serum plus LPL; ^#P < 0.05 compared with serum plus LPL plus C-II-a group.
