To investigate the enzymatic activity of hepatic lipase (HL) in postmenopausal women (PMW) and reproductive age women (RAW); and to evaluate the relationship between this enzyme and the atherogenic intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and antiatherogenic high density lipoproteins (HDL) and its subfractions (HDL2 and HDL3).
