Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a globally prevalent metabolic disorder, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic individuals. In addition to hyperglycemia, lipid abnormalities associated with T2DM play a crucial role in the development of CVD complications. Diabetic dyslipidemia is characterized by elevated levels of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and impaired HDL function. Angiopoietin protein-like 3 (ANGPTL3) is a liver-derived protein that plays a crucial role in regulating plasma lipoprotein metabolism by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase and influencing lipid levels. Inhibiting ANGPTL3 has shown promising effects in promoting HDL-mediated cholesterol reverse transport and reducing the levels of TG-rich lipoproteins and LDL cholesterol. Here, we explore the potential of ANGPTL3 as a therapeutic target for lipid management in T2DM patients.
期刊介绍:
Lipids in Health and Disease is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal that publishes articles on all aspects of lipids: their biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, role in health and disease, and the synthesis of new lipid compounds.
Lipids in Health and Disease is aimed at all scientists, health professionals and physicians interested in the area of lipids. Lipids are defined here in their broadest sense, to include: cholesterol, essential fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, phospholipids, inositol lipids, second messenger lipids, enzymes and synthetic machinery that is involved in the metabolism of various lipids in the cells and tissues, and also various aspects of lipid transport, etc. In addition, the journal also publishes research that investigates and defines the role of lipids in various physiological processes, pathology and disease. In particular, the journal aims to bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic by publishing articles that are particularly relevant to human diseases and the role of lipids in the management of various diseases.
