To study the function of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)with Asn291 Ser and Lys312insC compound mutation in LPL gene knockout heterozygous (LPL~(+/-)) mice. The results showed that triglycerides, free fatty acids, blood glucose and weight of LPL~(+/-) mice were higher than those of c57 mice(P<0. 05). The expressions of LPL Mrna and LPL protein of LPL~(+/-) group were lower than those of c57 group(P<0.05). The injection of Asn291Ser +Lys312insC protein caused little change of the lipid mass and LPL activity,but the injection of normal LPL protein induced obvious decrease of lipid mass and increase of the LPL activity.
