Effect of dietary fat on pancreatic lipase levels in the rat
Gidez, L.I., 1973: Effect of dietary fat on pancreatic lipase levels in the rat. Journal of Lipid Research 14(2): 169-177
The effect of dietary fat on lipase and other enzymes in rat pancreas has been studied. It was possible to raise concentrations of lipase in animals by supplementing their commercial chow diet with fat or by increasing the amount of fat in semipurified diets from 4% to 22%. Pancreatic amylase decreased in rats on the high-fat diets, whereas chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen were not affected.
