Lipolytic and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities were studied in isolated human adipocytes obtained from two intraabdominal depots (round ligament and omental) and from the subcutaneous abdominal region of nine severely obese premenopausal women (with body mass indices ranging from 37 to 51 kg/m2), aged 36 +/- 3 yr, undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
