Sub Grouping of Lipase Enzymes According to Tween Substrate in Different Organs of Rat

Abstract

Lipase is a general term involved types of lipase enzymes that hydrolyse long chain esters. Yet, no one knows which type of lipase is specific for certain organ or tissue.Therefore the aim of this study is to highlight which type of lipase enzymes subgroup is specific for each organ, using different tween substrates.Norway rats had been used. Different tissues had been taken from these animals. Detection of lipase enzyme, for each tissue, had been done by using Gomori method using different types of tween substrates.Different organs revealed different lipase enzymes activities according to the different substrates used in this experiment.From this study, different organs elicited their own lipase enzymes subgroups since different organs utilized different types of tweens as substrate and in different intensity.

Keywords: Lipase, Gomori method, tween substrates.
