Decreased Concentrations of the Lipoprotein Lipase Inhibitor Angiopoietin-Like Protein 4 and Increased Serum Triacylglycerol Are Associated With Increased Neonatal Fat Mass in Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

摘要

Context:Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is an extracellular inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. No studies have been done in pregnancy in which hypertriglyceridemia and tissue-specific changes in LPL activity are present.
