Does not support betatrophin-targeted therapies yet; leaves open its metabolic significance for future mechanistic studies.
This review highlights the complex and elusive physiological functions of betatrophin in regulating blood glucose and lipids.
Guo et al. (2022) conducted a review in Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism. Betatrophin (ANGPTL8) was evaluated. Betatrophin is a hormone involved in type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, though its exact biological significance and physiological functions remain elusive.
