Abstract:
Dyslipidemia has been identified as an important factor in obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), grouped as cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. Accordingly, dyslipidemia has become a major determinant in health worldwide. Both genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and research studies have focused on the elucidation of potential genetic mechanisms of dyslipidemia and the identification of new gene loci which contribute to the development of cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. Recent results indicate that both the ANGPTL8 gene and ANGPTL8 protein perform vital roles in modulating serum glucose and lipid metabolism. In this review, we examine the modulatory effects of ANGPTL8 and explore the potential mechanisms whereby ANGPTL8 affects serum glucose and lipid metabolism in cardio-metabolic disorder diseases.
