Abstract: This thesis aimed at investigating some aspects of plasma triglyceride metabolism in\nchildren. In the introduction general aspects of plasma triglyceride metabolism are presented.\nChapter 1 reviews recent litterature data on the intravenous fat tolerance test and on\nplasma postheparin lipoprotein lipase activity (PHLPL) in different situations associated\nwith abnormal plasma triglyceride concentration.\nChapter 2 defines the subjects of investigation. They are:\n1 Plasma triglyceride metabolism in children with glycogen storage disease.\n2 Plasma triglyceride metabolism in obese children.\n3 The use of lntralipid fat emulsion during total parenteral nutrition. The methods used\nin these investigations are described. They are the intravenous fat tolerance test\n(IVFTT) and the measurement of plasma PHLPL activity. A method for calculating\nrelative triglyceride production rate is also presented.
