Endothelial lipase facilitates low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake in LDL receptor deficiency by a heparan sulfate proteoglycan-dependent mechanism
2025-03-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Current lipid-lowering drugs are relatively ineffective in reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) due to a dysfunctional LDL receptor (LDLR). However, LDL cholesterol reductions have been achieved in FH patients using angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitors, which act through an uncharacterized, LDLR-independent pathway that requir...
