ANGPTL8 in metabolic homeostasis: more friend than foe? [PDF]
ANGPTL8 is an important cytokine, which is significantly increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and metabolic syndrome. Many studies have shown that ANGPTL8 can be used as a bio-marker of these metabolic disorders related diseases, and the

Liver-specific expression of ANGPTL8 promotes Alzheimer’s disease progression through activating microglial pyroptosis [PDF]
Introduction Liver dysfunction contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, and evidence suggests that the liver is involved in amyloid β (Aβ) clearance, and regulates Aβ deposition in the brain.

Inhibition of ANGPTL8 protects against diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction by reducing synaptic loss via the PirB signaling pathway [PDF]
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction. Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is an important regulator in T2D, but the role of ANGPTL8 in diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction remains ...

Angiopoietin-like protein 8 orchestrates macrophage glycogen metabolism and polarization via the JNK signaling pathway in cytokine storm syndrome [PDF]
Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) is associated with severe damage and high mortality in acute diseases. Over-activation of M1 macrophages, accompanied with excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, drives cytokine storms, while promoting M2 macrophage ...

Resolving Discrepant Findings on ANGPTL8 in β-Cell Proliferation: A Collaborative Approach to Resolving the Betatrophin Controversy. [PDF]
The β-cell mitogenic effects of ANGPTL8 have been subjected to substantial debate. The original findings suggested that ANGPTL8 overexpression in mice induced a 17-fold increase in β-cell proliferation.

ANGPTL8 protein-truncating variant associated with lower serum triglycerides and risk of coronary disease [PDF]
Protein-truncating variants (PTVs) affecting dyslipidemia risk may point to therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic disease. Our objective was to identify PTVs that were associated with both lipid levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) or ...
