Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) deficiency and familial combined hypolipidemia. [PDF]
Three members of the angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) protein family-ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4 and ANGPTL8- are important regulators of plasma lipoproteins. They inhibit the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which plays a key role in the intravascular lipolysis of triglycerides present in some lipoprotein classes.

Angiopoietin-Like Protein 3 Expression is Down-Regulated in Experimentally Pregnant Toxemic Goats
Pregnancy toxemia is a metabolic disorder of lipid and glucose. Recent investigations have found that angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) can contribute to disorder of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Angiopoietin-like protein 3 governs LDL-cholesterol levels through endothelial lipase-dependent VLDL clearance [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)3 regulates plasma lipids by inhibiting LPL and endothelial lipase (EL). ANGPTL3 inactivation lowers LDL-C independently of the classical LDLR-mediated pathway and represents a promising therapeutic approach for ...

Comparison of angiopoietin-like protein 3 and 4 reveals structural and mechanistic similarities. [PDF]
Elevated plasma triglycerides are a risk factor for coronary artery disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) reduces triglycerides in the blood by hydrolyzing them from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to release free fatty acids.

Serum Angiopoietin-like Protein 3 Level Is Associated with Peripheral Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a secretory protein regulating lipid metabolism. This study evaluated the relationship between serum ANGPTL3 level and peripheral arterial stiffness (PAS) in patients with coronary ...

On the mechanism of angiopoietin-like protein 8 for control of lipoprotein lipase activity
Angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) 8 is a secreted inhibitor of LPL, a key enzyme in plasma triglyceride metabolism. It was previously reported that ANGPTL8 requires another member of the ANGPTL family, ANGPTL3, to act on LPL.

Genetic inhibition of angiopoietin-like protein-3, lipids, and cardiometabolic risk. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims RNA-based, antibody-based, and genome editing-based therapies are currently under investigation to determine if the inhibition of angiopoietin-like protein-3 (ANGPTL3) could reduce lipoprotein-lipid levels and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk.

Differential regulation and properties of angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like protein 3 and 4 (Angptl3 and Angptl4) are two members of the angiopoietin-like family of proteins. These two closely related proteins have been reported to similarly affect lipid metabolism through their capacity to inhibit lipoprotein ...

High-Serum Angiopoietin-Like Protein 3 Levels Associated with Cardiovascular Outcome in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Background. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) plays a pivotal role in lipid metabolism and angiogenesis, and there is growing interest regarding the association between ANGPTL3 and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to investigate whether
