Angptl4 Upregulates Cholesterol Synthesis in Liver via Inhibition of LPL- and HL-Dependent Hepatic Cholesterol Uptake

Abstract
Background— Dysregulation of plasma lipoprotein levels may increase the risk for atherosclerosis. Recently, angiopoietin-like protein 4, also known as fasting-induced adipose factor Fiaf, was uncov... The present study exploits the fasting-dependent phenotype of Angptl4-transgenic mice to characterize the function of Angptl4. We conclude that: (1) Angptl4 causes hypertriglyceridemia by inhibitin...
