A Novel Role for RARα Agonists as Apolipoprotein CIII Inhibitors Identified from High Throughput Screening

Abstract Elevated triglyceride (TG) levels are well-correlated with the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Apolipoprotein CIII (ApoC-III) is a key regulator of plasma TG levels through regulation of lipolysis and lipid synthesis. To identify novel regulators of TG levels, we carried out a high t...
