General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function placental lipoprotein lipase activity is positively associated with newborn adiposity. Placental lipoprotein lipase (pLPL) hydrolyzes triglycerides (TG), both dietary chylomicron TG (CM-TG) and very-low density lipoprotein TG (VLDL-TG), to free fatty acids (FFA). This may promote fetal fat accretion by increasing the available FFA pool for placental uptake. pLPL activity, but not maternal adipose tissue LPL activity, is associated with newborn adiposity and higher maternal TG. Placental LPL activity is positively correlated with birthweight and newborn percent body fat, but maternal adipose tissue LPL is not. Maternal TG and BMI are not correlated with pLPL. pLPL gene expression, while modestly correlated with enzymatic activity, is not correlated with newborn adiposity.
