TABLE 1.
Effects of age on LPL activity in rats
| Tissue | Strain | Relevant Observation | Reference |
| Adipose tissue | Sprague-Dawley | Increasing fasted LPL activity with age (2, 12, 24 months) | (14) |
| No differences in fasted LPL activity at 40 days, 100 days, and 1 year of age | (15) | ||
| Increased fed LPL activity (compared with fasting) at 40 days of age, but no difference between fasting and fed activity at 100 days or 1 year | (15) | ||
| Fisher-344 | Decreasing fasted LPL activity with age (2, 12, 24 months) | (14) | |
| Decreasing fasted LPL activity with age (6, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months) | (16) | ||
| Wistar | Increased LPL activity at 15 months compared with 3 months (feeding state not specified) | (22) | |
| Cardiac tissue | Sprague-Dawley | No change in LPL activity with age | (14) |
| Fisher-344 | No change in LPL activity with age | (14) | |
| Decreasing fasted LPL activity with age (6, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months) | (16) | ||
| Diaphragm muscle | Sprague-Dawley | Decreased fasted LPL activity in 12- and 24-month-old rats compared with 2-month-old animals | (14) |
| Fisher-344 | No change in LPL activity with age | (14) | |
| Decreasing fasted LPL activity with age (6, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months) | (16) | ||
| Skeletal muscle | Fisher-344 | Decreased LPL activity in 24-month-old rats compare with 2-month-old animals in soleus but not tibialis anterior muscles (feeding state not specified) | (23) |
| Fisher-344 × Brown Norway | Decreased LPL activity in 31-month-old rats compare with 18-month-old animals in soleus but not tibialis anterior muscles (feeding state not specified) | (23) |
