Summary

The influence of mastitis and early lactation, and the effect of treating milk with heparin, blood serum and trypsin, on the proportion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in milk serum was investigated. The relative importance of milk serum LPL and LPL bound to micellar casein in promoting lipolysis was also examined. Colostrum contained LPL activity, 45% of which was found in the serum phase in samples obtained from the first milking post partum, but this value fell to 34% in samples taken 24 h later. The proportion of serum LPL was also increased in milks from quarters infected with Staphylococcus aureus, but not after overnight treatment of normal milk at 4 °C with 5% (w/v) blood serum or 2 µg/ml trypsin. The addition of 5 µg/ml heparin resulted in a consistent increase in serum LPL which varied between 14 and 50% of total milk LPL. Heparin did not release all the enzyme bound to casein micelles even after a second heparin treatment of resuspended micelles. Serum LPL was more effective in promoting lipolysis and was more responsive to blood serum activation than LPL bound to casein micelles. Lipolysis increased after heparin treatment but the increase was not related to serum LPL activity.
