Lipid content and lipoprotein lipase activity in skeletal muscle of lactating and weaned rats
The aim of the investigation was to study the changes in lipid content and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity of skeletal muscle of lactating and weaned rats, in order to gain insight on the role of skeletal muscle in the metabolism of triacylglycerols not used by the mammary gland after weaning.
