The Potential of ANGPTL8 Antagonism to Simultaneously Reduce Triglyceride and Increase HDL-Cholesterol Plasma Levels

Elevated triglyceride (TG) and reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a drug that simultaneously reduces TG and increases HDL-C plasma levels has the potential to prevent and treat these diseases....

description Elevated triglyceride (TG) and reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
