Betatrophin and Insulin Resistance [PDF]
Betatrophin (angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8)) is a hormone that was recently discovered in the human liver. Multiple homologous sequences have been detected in mammalian liver, white adipose, and brown adipose tissues.

Associations of Betatrophin/ANGPTL8 with Septic Dyslipidemia in Human Peritonitis: An Explorative Analysis [PDF]
Sepsis is defined by life-threatening organ dysfunction mediated by the host’s response to infection. This can result in septic dyslipidemia, which is involved in the neutralization of pathogen-related lipids.

Irisin and betatrophin responses to 9 h of passive heat exposure: Influence of age, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Age‐ and disease‐related metabolic responses to prolonged passive heat exposure are poorly understood. We evaluated serum irisin and betatrophin responses to 9 h of passive heat exposure (40°C, 9% relative humidity) in 19 young adults (19–31 years) and ...
