1 Fatty acids and hypoxia stimulate the expression and secretion of the adipokine ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like protein 4/ fasting-induced adipose factor) by human adipocytes. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
2 ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like protein 4/fasting-induced adipose factor), which is implicated in angiogenesis, lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis, is a major hypoxia-sensitive gene; recent studies indicate that ANGPTL4 expression is also regulated by fatty acids. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
3 ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like protein 4/fasting-induced adipose factor), which is implicated in angiogenesis, lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis, is a major hypoxia-sensitive gene; recent studies indicate that ANGPTL4 expression is also regulated by fatty acids. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
4 We have examined the effects of hypoxia and fatty acids, alone and together, on the expression and release of ANGPTL4 by human adipocytes. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: The expression and secretion of ANGPTL4 by human adipocytes is upregulated by both hypoxia and fatty acids. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
6 The stimulatory effect of fatty acids on ANGPTL4 production is augmented under hypoxic conditions. Fatty Acids angiopoietin like 4 Homo sapiens
