Purpose Of Review: The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss recent advances in the understanding of the physiological role of lipoprotein lipase in lipid and energy metabolism.
Recent Findings: Studies on the transcriptional and the posttranscriptional level of lipoprotein lipase expression have provided new insights into the complex mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of the enzyme. Additionally a large body of evidence from both human studies and animal models suggests that the level of lipoprotein lipase expression in a given tissue is the rate limiting process for the uptake of triglyceride derived fatty acids. Imbalances in the partitioning of fatty acids among peripheral tissues have major metabolic consequences. For example, in mice both decreased lipoprotein lipase activities in adipose tissue and increased activity in muscle are associated with resistance to obesity; lack of lipoprotein lipase activity in macrophages is correlated with a decreased susceptibility to develop atherosclerotic lesions and overexpression of the enzyme in muscle is associated with increased blood glucose levels and insulin resistance.
Summary: Considering the central role of lipoprotein lipase in energy metabolism it is a reasonable goal to discover and develop new drugs that affect the tissue specific expression pattern of the enzyme.

Familial hypercholesterolemia - Targeted whole gene sequencing as a diagnostic approach.
Atheroscler Plus
March 2025
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden.
Background And Aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and other disorders with similar features are common genetic disorders that remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, due in part to the cost of screening. The aim of this study was to design and implement a whole gene targeted NGS panel for the molecular diagnosis of FH and statin intolerance with an emphasis on high quality variant calling, including copy number analysis.
Methods: A whole gene panel for hybridisation-based short read NGS was designed for the dominant FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor (), apolipoprotein B (APOB), proproteinconvertas subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), apolipoprotein E (APOE) and the recessive FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (), ATP binding cassette subfamily member 5/8 (ABCG5/8) and lipase A, lysosomal acid type (), as well as solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (), not an FH gene but linked to statin intolerance.
Ghrelin Promotes Lipid Uptake into White Adipose Tissue via Endothelial Growth Hormone Secretagogue-Receptor in Mice.

: Endothelial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) regulates adipose tissue by facilitating lipid uptake into white adipocytes, but the role of endothelial lipid transport in systemic energy balance remains unclear. Ghrelin conveys nutritional information through the central nervous system and increases adiposity, while deficiency in its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue-receptor (GHSR), suppresses adiposity on a high-fat diet. This study aims to examine the effect of ghrelin/GHSR signaling in the endothelium on lipid metabolism.

Olanzapine (OLZ) is widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia, and its metabolic side effects have garnered significant attention in recent years. Despite this, the specific side effects of OLZ and the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood. To address this gap, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to OLZ at concentrations of 35.

Institute of Animal Science and Technology, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450046, China.
Multiply adverse effects including declines in production performance and excessive fat deposition were noticed with the extension of the laying cycle in hens, which are pertinent to animal welfare and human food safety. This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of bile acids (BAs) on production performance and lipid metabolism in late-phase laying hens. A total of 144 70-week-old hens were distributed into three treatments with eight replicates per treatment, including the basal diet with 0 (Ctrl), 95.

We report significant associations between the presence of SNPs and reductions in plasma cholesterol, as well as positive associations between hepatic Cpt1a expression and plasma cholesterol levels across inbred mouse strains. Mechanistic studies show that both wild type and human apolipoprotein B100 (apoB)-transgenic mice with liver-specific deletion of (LKO) display lower circulating apoB levels consistent with reduced LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and LDL particle number.
