Abstract
Anti-hedgehog antibodies directed at blocking the binding of hedgehog to its receptor patched-1, will impair lipid metabolism and storage. This invention presents methods for the treatment of a variety of lipid metabolism and lipid storage disorders, aberrant apolipoprotein expression, atherosclerosis and other lipid associated disorders using lipid modulators such as hedgehog antagonists or hedgehog agonists.
