Abstract

Provided are compositions comprising an oligonucleotide that targets Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4). The oligonucleotide may include a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). Also provided herein are methods of treating a metabolic or cardiovascular disorder by providing an oligonucleotide that targets ANGPTL4 to a subject in need thereof.
