Abstract
1. Alloxan-diabetic rats showed raised plasma triglyceride levels and low adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity compared with controls. Heart lipoprotein lipase activity appeared unaltered by the diabetic state.
2. Plasma post-heparin lipolytic activity was slightly but not significantly increased in the diabetic group. The significance of these findings is discussed.
