A 5-yr old male proband and his sister have had hypertriglyceridemia and hepatosplenomegaly since birth. When studied on a metabolic ward, they demonstrated rapid decreases in serum triglycerides on 3 g fat/day diets. Oral glucose tolerance tests were normal. Postheparin lipolytic activity (PHLA) against chylomicrons was virtually absent in both children whereas the mother and a normolipemic sister had levels approximately 50% normal. However, all four had a normal PHLA against commercial triglyceride emulsion (Intralipid). Two unrelated children from different kindreds of typical type 1 hyperlipoproteinemia and two patients with acquired type V hyperlipoproteinemia had deficient PHLA against both substrates. No inhibitors of PHLA could be demonstrated in the proband's plasma, and his own PHLA could not be enhanced by either normal concentrated plasma or pooled d > 1.063 lipoprotein fraction. The proband's postheparin plasma required almost 20 times the normal chylomicron-triglyceride concentration to reach one-half maximal lipase velocity.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
