Background:

  • Hepatic lipase (HL) is crucial for metabolizing lipoproteins, including chylomicrons, intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs), and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs).
  • HL influences the liver's uptake of remnant lipoproteins by altering their composition.
  • The enzyme is implicated in reverse cholesterol transport, a process vital for preventing atherosclerosis.

Framework:

  • This review focuses on recent advancements in understanding HL functions.
  • The research utilizes studies involving transgenic animal models.
  • Emphasis is placed on HL's roles in remnant metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis.

Implementation:

  • Transgenic animal studies provide in vivo models to dissect the complex roles of HL.
