Abstract:
Lay abstract Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a protein that is produced by the liver. ANGPTL3 plays an important role in controlling the blood levels of fats, such as cholesterol. Inhibition of ANGPTL3 is a new approach to improve the health in people with abnormal blood fat levels. Treatments that inhibits ANGPTL3, such as nucleic acids that reduce products of genes called RNA, can safely and significantly lower blood fat levels. The safety and value of this new treatment in preventing heart disease in people needs further research.
