Reversal of β cell de-differentiation by a small molecule inhibitor of the TGFβ pathway [PDF]
Dysfunction or death of pancreatic β cells underlies both types of diabetes. This functional decline begins with β cell stress and de-differentiation. Current drugs for type 2 diabetes (T2D) lower blood glucose levels but they do not directly alleviate β

Correlation of Circulating ANGPTL5 Levels With Obesity, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein in Adolescents [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL) is a family of eight members known to play an important role in metabolic diseases. Of these, ANGPTL5 is suggested to regulate triglyceride metabolism and is increased in obesity and diabetes.

The Arg59Trp variant in ANGPTL8 (betatrophin) is associated with total and HDL-cholesterol in American Indians and Mexican Americans and differentially affects cleavage of ANGPTL3 [PDF]
We previously identified a locus linked to total cholesterol (TC) concentration in Pima Indians on chromosome 19p. To characterize this locus, we genotyped \u3e2000 SNPs in 1838 Pimas and assessed association with log(TC).
