To support in vivo and in vitro studies of intravascular triglyceride metabolism in mice, we created rat monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against mouse LPL. Two mAbs, mAbs 23A1 and 31A5, were used to develop a sandwich ELISA for mouse LPL. The detection of mouse LPL by the ELISA was linear in concentrations ranging from 0.31 ng/ml to 20 ng/ml. The sensitivity of the ELISA made it possible to quantify LPL in serum and in both pre-heparin and post-heparin plasma samples (including in grossly lipemic samples). LPL mass and activity levels in the post-heparin plasma were lower in Gpihbp1 mice than in wild-type mice. In both groups of mice, LPL mass and activity levels were positively correlated. Our mAb-based sandwich ELISA for mouse LPL will be useful for any investigator who uses mouse models to study LPL-mediated intravascular lipolysis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disorder, has the hallmarks of persistent hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was found to be overexpressed in many tissues in the case of T2DM and involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. So, PTP1B inhibition can act as a therapeutic target for T2DM.

The mechanisms governing adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) metabolic adaptation during diet-induced obesity (DIO) are poorly understood. In obese adipose tissue, ATMs are exposed to lipid fluxes, which can influence the activation of specific inflammatory and metabolic programs and contribute to the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders. In the present study, we demonstrate that the membrane ATP-binding cassette g1 (Abcg1) transporter controls the ATM functional response to fatty acids (FAs) carried by triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, which are abundant in high-energy diets.

The effect of increased triglycerides (TGs) as an independent factor in atherosclerosis development has been contentious, in part, because severe hypertriglyceridemia associates with low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). To test whether hyperchylomicronemia, in the absence of markedly reduced LDL-C levels, contributes to atherosclerosis, we created mice with induced whole-body lipoprotein lipase (LpL) deficiency combined with LDL receptor (LDLR) deficiency. On an atherogenic Western-type diet (WD), male and female mice with induced global LpL deficiency (i ) and LDLR knockdown ( ) developed hypertriglyceridemia and elevated cholesterol levels; all the increased cholesterol was in chylomicrons or large VLDL.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of liraglutide affecting lipid metabolism by regulating lipolysis and lipogenesis in cells and ob/ob mice.
Methods: 3 T3-L1 cells were treated with liraglutide in vitro, and differentially expressed genes were screened by RNA sequencing. Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG (Kvoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) enrichment analyses identified target genes for lipid regulation of liraglutide.

Article Synopsis
- * In an experiment, genetically similar mice on a high-fat diet were either isolated or housed together for 12 weeks to study the effects on heart health and metabolism, using various biological analyses to measure changes.
- * Findings revealed that socially isolated mice developed more severe atherosclerosis due to disrupted lipid metabolism and reduced oxytocin levels, suggesting that social connections enhance lipid management and overall cardiovascular health through a brain-liver communication pathway.
