Abstract

Apolipoprotein AV (apoAV) is a negative modulator of triglyceride metabolism, and the APOAV gene is upregulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α). Interestingly, statins have triglyceride-lowering effect and other anti-atherosclerotic effects, which may involve in the activation of PPAR-α expression. Therefore, it is plausible that statins could decrease plasma triglyceride levels by increasing APOAV expression via a PPAR-α activated pathway.
