Abstract excerpt
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) represents an adipokine with metabolic effects within adipose tissue, such as inhibition of lipoprotein lipase activity and stimulation of lipolysis. These effects were convincingly demonstrated in mice. Therefore, we asked whether genetic variation within the ANGPTL4 gene contributes to prediabetic phenotypes, such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, or beta-cell...
