Silencing of ANGPTL8 Alleviates Insulin Resistance in Trophoblast Cells [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the effect of angiopoietin like 8 (ANGPTL8) on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and insulin resistance (IR). The GDM model was induced by high fat diet in mice, and IR was observed.

ANGPTL8/Betatrophin Does Not Control Pancreatic Beta Cell Expansion [PDF]
SummaryRecently, it was reported that angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) was the long-sought “betatrophin” that could control pancreatic beta cell proliferation.

Circulating ANGPTL8 as a Potential Protector of Metabolic Complications in Patients with Psoriasis
Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) exerts pleiotropic effects, taking part in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation, hematopoiesis and oncogenesis. So far, the exact molecular targets of ANGPTL8 remain poorly defined.

ANGPTL8 is upregulated in subcutaneous adipose tissue at early term after bariatric surgery in patients living with obesity. [PDF]
Bariatric surgery induces early immunological and transcriptomic modulations in subcutaneous adipose tissue, suggesting a transient pro‐inflammatory state and tissue remodeling process in patients living with obesity. ANGPTL8 could play a role in improving metabolic homeostasis at early‐term after bariatric surgery offering new insights into adipose ...

ANGPTL8 regulates glucose metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus mice, and proteomic analysis reveals the PI3K/Akt pathway plays its role in insulin-resistance HepG2 cells [PDF]
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is a pivotal determinant in the pathophysiological processes underlying gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) exhibits an ambiguous influence on glucose metabolism in the onset and ...

Association between serum ANGPLT8 levels and atherogenic index of plasma in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
AimsAngiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8), a secreted adipokine, has been reported to be associated with lipid and glucose metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the association between circulating levels of ANGPTL8 and atherogenic risk, assessed by ...

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Exacerbates the Advancement of Renal Fibrosis by Modulating Renal CCR2<sup>+</sup>PIRB<sup>+</sup> Macrophages Through the ANGPTL8/PIRB/ALOX5AP Axis. [PDF]
The ANGPTL8/PIRB/ALOX5AP axis mediates liver‐kidney crosstalk. Hepatocytes secrete ANGPTL8, which binds to CCR2+PIRB+ macrophages in the kidneys, affecting the expression of ALOX5AP and enhancing the activation of these macrophages. Activated cells produce TGF‐β, IL‐6, and IL‐23, driving Th17 activation and promote the formation of myofibroblasts ...

Increased Serum ANGPTL8 Concentrations in Patients with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes [PDF]
The objectives of the study were to investigate serum ANGPTL8 concentrations in different glucose metabolic statuses and to explore the correlations between serum ANGPTL8 levels and various metabolic parameters. Serum ANGPTL8 levels were determined using

Targeted Metabolomics Analysis of Individuals Carrying the ANGPTL8 R59W Variant
ANGPTL8 is recognized as a regulator of lipid metabolism through its role in inhibiting lipoprotein lipase activity. ANGPTL8 gene variants, particularly rs2278426 leading to the R59W variant in the protein, have been associated with lipid traits in ...
