May support apoC-III inhibition for hypertriglyceridemia; hypothesis-generating in mice, leaves human translation open.
Does apolipoprotein C-III deficiency accelerate triglyceride hydrolysis and lower lipids in wild-type and apoE knockout mice?
Apolipoprotein C-III deficiency lowers lipids by accelerating VLDL triglyceride hydrolysis and enhancing selective clearance of VLDL cholesteryl esters, independent of apoE.
Jong et al. (2001) studied this question.
