Highlights betatrophin as a potential lipid biomarker in obesity and diabetes; leaves open its causal role and therapeutic targeting.
This review summarizes current findings on betatrophin, highlighting its complex regulatory role in lipid metabolism and potential implications for obesity and diabetes.
Tseng et al. (2014) conducted a review in Obesity or diabetes. Betatrophin was evaluated. Betatrophin expression is associated with serum lipid profiles in obesity and diabetes, though its precise physiological role in regulating triglyceride levels remains unclear.
