Associations of Circulating ANGPTL3, C-Terminal Domain-Containing ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL3/8 and ANGPTL4/8 Complexes with LPL Activity, Diabetes, Inflammation, and Cardiovascular Mortality

CONCLUSIONS: ANGPTL3/8 potently inhibited GPIHBP1-LPL enzymatic activity, consistent with its positive association with serum lipids. However, ANGPTL3/8, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels were not associated with cardiovascular death in the LURIC and getABI cohorts. In contrast, concentrations of ANGPTL4/8 and particularly CD-ANGPTL4 were positively associated with inflammation, the prevalence of diabetes, and cardiovascular …
