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).
