The effects of two apolipoproteins isolated from human very low density lipoproteins (apoLp-

markedly stimulated LPL as reported by others. ApoLp-Ala isolated by techniques previously
described also activated LPL at low levels. However, with further purification by

Summary
The effects of two apolipoproteins isolated from human very low density lipoproteins (apoLp-Glu and apoLp-Ala) on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity have been studied. ApoLp-Glu markedly stimulated LPL as reported by others. ApoLp-Ala isolated by techniques previously described also activated LPL at low levels. However, with further purification by hydroxylapatite chromatography all activation by apoLp-Ala was eliminated with the removal of a small contaminant immunochemically identical to apoLp-Glu. ApoLp-Ala consistently inhibits LPL when present at levels above 2% of the substrate (w/w). This inhibition was not overcome by addition of phospholipid, apoLp-Glu, or more enzyme.
