Genetic inactivation of ANGPTL4 improves glucose homeostasis and is associated with reduced risk of diabetes

Genetic variation in ANGPTL4 is associated with lipid traits. Here, the authors find that predicted loss-of-function variants in ANGPTL4 are associated with glucose homeostasis and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and that Angptl4 −/− mice on a high-fat diet show improved insulin sensitivity.
