Lipase activity of pigeon heart muscle particulate fractions and its metabolic significance

J. C. George 1 and P. Thomas Iype 1

1 Division of Animal Physiology, Department of Zoology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, India

The lipase activity in the different particulate fractions of the pigeon heart muscle was determined manometrically. The microsomal fraction was found to have more of the enzyme activity than the mitochondrial one. The mitochondrial fraction was found to be incapable of oxidizing tributyrin and triolein in vitro. The possible role of the microsomes in the esterification of fatty acids and hydrolysis of fat is discussed.
