Abstract
Human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency causes profound hypertriglyceridemia and life-threatening pancreatitis. We recently developed an adult murine model for LPL deficiency: LPL -/- mice display grossly elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels (>200-fold) and very low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C < 10% of normal). We used this animal model to test the efficacy of adeno-associated virus-mediated expression of hLPL(S447X) (AAV1-LPL(S447X)) in muscle for the treatment of LPL deficiency. Intramuscular administration of AAV1-LPL(S447X) resulted in dose-dependent expression of hLPL protein and LPL activity (up to 33% of normal murine levels) in postheparin plasma. Remarkably, visible hyperlipidemia was resolved within 1 week; plasma TG was reduced to near-normal levels (from 99.0 to 1.8 mmol/L), and plasma HDL-C was increased 6-fold (from 0.2 to 1.1 mmol/L). At 8 months after administration of AAV1-LPL(S447X), an intravenous lipid challenge showed efficient, near-normal clearance of plasma TG. Histologic analyses of injected muscle further indicated that abnormal muscle morphology observed in LPL -/- mice was reversed after treatment. Expression of therapeutic levels of LPL(S447X), and the subsequent beneficial effect on plasma lipid levels, has lasted for more than 1 year. We therefore conclude that AAV1-mediated transfer of LPL(S447X) into murine skeletal muscle results in long-term near-correction of dyslipidemia associated with LPL deficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
