Fun to work on this editorial piece on an important question that has come up often as a fellow with the marvelous mentorship of Pradeep Natarajan and Michael Honigberg, MD, MPP. Many gaps in how we assess risk of ASCVD that don’t fall cleanly in primary vs secondary buckets and impact therapy

Our study led by Sumeet Khetarpal MGH Cardiology Fellows & D Rader Penn Genetics uses human & murine genetic studies to show that endothelial lipase, in addition to & in collab w/ lipoprotein lipase, is a regulator of TG-rich lipoprotein metabolism journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… PLOS Genetics


Does endothelial lipase (EL) contribute to triglyceride #metabolism? Khetarpal et al show that EL collaborates with lipoprotein lipase to break down triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, especially after a high-fat diet Sumeet Khetarpal Michael Levin Pradeep Natarajan doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Happy to share our new story published in Cell Metabolism regarding oral fructose tolerance test and blood glycerate measurements as a potential predictor of individual vulnerability to fructose-induced fatty liver disease. Awesome collaboration with Xia Yang Lab UCLA. Congrats all!
