Abstract excerpt
Based on titration microcalorimetry and Caco-2 cell line transfection studies, it has been suggested that the A54T of the FABP2 gene plays a significant role in the assimilation of dietary fatty acids. However, reports were divergent with regard to the in vivo interaction between this polymorphism and postprandial lipemia. We therefore determined the influence of this intestinal fatty acid-binding protein...
