Effects of irisin and exercise on adropin and betatrophin in a new metabolic syndrome model.
Title: Effects of irisin and exercise on adropin and betatrophin in a new metabolic syndrome model.
These results suggest that early administration of betatrophin promotes betacell proliferation in STZinduced diabetic neonates and prevents the development of diabetes in adults.
Title: Recombinant betatrophin (Angptl‑8/lipasin) ameliorates streptozotocin‑induced hyperglycemia and β‑cell destruction in neonatal rats.
A significant increase in the serum concentration of irisin (p < 0.05), betatrophin (p < 0.05), and insulin (p < 0.001) and significant decrease in the FBG (P < 0.01) and lipid profiles (p < 0.01) were observed.
Title: High-intensity interval training improved fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles in type 2 diabetic rats more than endurance training; possible involvement of irisin and betatrophin.
Angptl8 KO in rats resulted in lower body weight and plasma TG levels without affecting glucose metabolism
Title: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Angptl8 knockout suppresses plasma triglyceride concentrations and adiposity in rats.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
