title: The genes and proteins of atherogenic lipoprotein production.
abstract: Dietary fat provides a major source of nutrition, but may in excess lead to obesity, insulin resistance, high blood cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis. Here we report molecular events that co-ordinate whole-body lipid homoeostasis from insects to humans, viewed in the context of rare and common genetic disorders of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein production.
