ASP enhances in situ lipoprotein lipase activity by increasing fatty acid trapping in adipocytes

Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) increases triglyceride (TG) storage (fatty acid trapping) in adipose tissue and plays an important role in postprandial TG clearance. We examined the capacity of ASP and insulin to stimulate the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and the trapping of LPL-derived...
