ApoB100 is required for increased VLDL-triglyceride secretion by microsomal triglyceride transfer protein in ob/ob mice*

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (Mttp) is a key player in the assembly and secretion of hepatic very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Here we determined the effects of Mttp overexpression on hepatic triglyceride (TG) and VLDL secretion in leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice, specifically in relat...
