Abstract excerpt
The KK/San obese and diabetic mouse, a mutant strain from KK obese mice, exhibits significantly low plasma triglyceride levels. In KK/San mice, genetic analysis identified a mutation in the gene encoding angiopoietinlike protein 3 (Angptl3), a liver-specific secretory protein, which had suppressive effect on lipoprotein lipase activity. In the current study, LXR ligands augmented Angptl3 mRNA expression and...
