Angiopoietin-Like 3 (ANGPTL3) and Atherosclerosis: Lipid and Non-Lipid Related Effects
Genetic and clinical studies have demonstrated that loss-of-function variants in the angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) gene are associated with decreased plasma levels of triglycerides (TGs), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density ...

Here, causal relations are examined between 2940 plasma proteins and 19 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) using a human genetics‐based method. 218 proteins are found whose blood levels influence CVD risks, with about half being new discoveries and largely confirmed in an independent cohort.

This study reveals a novel crosstalk between hepatic SREBP2‐mediated cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and peripheral lipoprotein lipase‐mediated lipolysis pathway in the regulation of systemic lipid metabolism. Notably, the lipid‐lowering effects of SREBP2 inhibition are independent of a functional LDL receptor, highlighting the potential of acute ...

Emergency Management of Intoxication‐Type Inherited Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT In many intoxication‐type inherited metabolic disorders, the accumulation of the toxic chemical can cause acute life‐threatening emergencies. Sometimes this is the inevitable consequence of a severe metabolic defect, but it is often triggered by catabolism.

Evinacumab and Cardiovascular Outcome in Patients With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
BACKGROUND: Patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) remain at very high cardiovascular risk despite the best standard of care lipid-lowering treatment. The addition of evinacumab, an angiopoietin-like protein 3 monoclonal antibody, more than halves low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in short-term studies.

Hypercholesterolemia and inflammation—Cooperative cardiovascular risk factors
Abstract Background Maintaining low concentrations of plasma low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) over time decreases the number of LDL particles trapped within the artery wall, slows the progression of atherosclerosis and delays the age at which mature atherosclerotic plaques develop.

Abstract Domino liver transplantation and domino‐auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation are emerging techniques that can expand the liver donor pool and provide hope for children with liver disease. The innovative technique of domino liver transplantation has emerged as a pioneering strategy, capitalizing on structurally preserved livers ...
