Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The affinity of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FABP) for fatty acids is regulated by the polymorphism at codon 54 of the FABP2 gene (alanine-to-threonine shift). We found earlier that the threonine-encoding allele (Thr54) is associated with an increased postprandial lipemic response. OBJECTIVE: We studied the postprandial responses of individual fatty acids in subjects homozygous for the Thr54...
