Serum ANGPTLs change in metabolism-related diseases.

T2DM Obesity NASH/NAFLD Lipodystrophy
ANGPTL3 ↑ in T2DM vs. obese non-T2DM. b Unchanged b Non-increased in NAFLD, higher levels in advanced levels of NASH. b
↑ in conditions of metabolic inflammation. b
↓ in lipodystrophic patients in treatment with metreleptin. b
High levels of ANGPTL3 in untreated patients. b
Consistent ANGPTL3 reduction in leptin-replacement therapy. b
ANGPTL4 ↑ in T2DM vs. obese non-T2DM. b ↑ Obesity vs. normal BMI. b
Reflects adipose tissue dysfunction. b
Unchanged b Unchanged b
ANGPTL8 ↑↑ in glycometabolism impairment. b
Induced by insulin. a
Related with serum LDL-c, TGs and HDL-c inversely. b
Unchanged in case of glycometabolism compensation. b Associated with grade of lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. a Associated with grade of lipid accumulation in hepatocytes in leptin deficient mouse. a
Unresearched in Human. b

Table Legend: Levels of circulating ANGPTLs in common cardiometabolic diseases. a—studies in animal models. b—studies in human. Arrows indicate increase (↑) or decrease (↓) of ANGPTLs serum concentration. T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus); NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic fatty liver Disease); NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis); BMI (body mass index); TGs (triglycerides); HDL-c (high density lipoprotein cholesterol); LDL-c (low density lipoprotein cholesterol).
