Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)8 is a negative regulator of lipoprotein lipase-mediated plasma triglyceride (TG) clearance. In this study, we describe a fully human monoclonal antibody (REGN3776) that binds monkey and human ANGPTL8 with high affinity. Inhibition of ANGPTL8 with REGN3776 in humanized ANGPTL8 mice decreased plasma TGs and increased lipoprotein lipase activity. Additionally, REGN3776 reduced body weight and fat content. The reduction in body weight was secondary to increased ene ...[more]
