Abstract excerpt
The fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) have been implicated in facilitated cellular uptake of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), thus having the potential to regulate local and systemic NEFA concentrations and metabolism. Hypothesising that genetic variation within the FATP genes may affect l...
