On the Role of Lipemia Clearing Factor in Lipid Transport On the Role of Lipemia Clearing Factor in Lipid Transport

Contributor(s): Anfinsen, Christian B. (Christian Boehmer), 1916-1995 Publication: Johns Hopkins University. Press, 1954 Language(s): English Format: Text Subject(s): Heparin Lipids Hypolipidemic Agents Genre(s): Archival Materials Monographs Excerpts Abstract: In this article, Anfinsen reported evidence that suggested that the accumulation of abnormally low-density lipoproteins in plasma was the result of deficiencies in the mechanisms for normal degradation of the substances. Anfinsen argued that these homeostatic mechanisms that aid in the substances' ability to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting their physiological processes might also apply to lipids, which act similarly to the hormonal control of blood sugar.
