Angiopoietin-like 4 promotes intracellular degradation of lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes [PDF]
LPL hydrolyzes triglycerides in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins along the capillaries of heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. The activity of LPL is repressed by angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully ...

Angiopoietin-like 4 promotes osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration and stimulates osteoclastogenesis [PDF]
Background Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children and young adults. It is highly aggressive and patients that present with metastasis have a poor prognosis.

Angiopoietin-like 4 directs uptake of dietary fat away from adipose during fasting [PDF]
Objective: Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is a fasting-induced inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and a regulator of plasma triglyceride metabolism. Here, we examined the kinetics of Angptl4 induction and tested the hypothesis that ANGPTL4 functions ...

Targeting metabolic flexibility via angiopoietin-like 4 protein sensitizes metastatic cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs [PDF]
Overcoming multidrug resistance has always been a major challenge in cancer treatment. Recent evidence suggested epithelial-mesenchymal transition plays a role in MDR, but the mechanism behind this link remains unclear.

Angiopoietin‐like protein 4 and clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients
Aims Angiopoietin‐like protein 4 (ANGPTL‐4) had been reported to be associated with the risk of ischemic stroke, but its prognostic value remained unclear.

Role of Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) as a Predictive marker for Diabetic Nephropathy in type 2 Diabetes [PDF]
Background: Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a glycoprotein that regulates LPL activity during fasting and thereby affects triglyceride metabolism.

Angiopoietin-like protein 4 regulates breast muscle lipid metabolism in broilers
: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) on breast muscle lipid metabolism in broilers. In experiment 1, 36 thirty-five-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allocated into 6 treatment ...

Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,
