As an ambiguous member of vascular endothelial growth factor family, VEGF-B has long been poorly understood in its function. Recent researches showed VEGF-B isoforms exerted their metabolic effect through indirectly activating the VEGF-A/VEGFR2 pathway. Here, we report the lipid-lowing effect of VEGF-B via VEGFR1. We investigated the effect of VEGF-B on lipid metabolism in vivo and in vitro approaches. Treatment of mice with VEGF-B recombinant protein repressed HFD-induced body weight gain. This treatment also alleviated obesity ass
