A Promoter Polymorphism in the Liver-specific Fatty Acid Transport Protein 5 is Associated with Features of the Metabolic Syndrome and Steatosis
13 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The fatty acid transport protein 5 (FATP5) is exclusively expressed in the liver and is involved in hepatic lipid and bile metabolism. We investigated whether a variation in the FATP5 promoter (rs56225452) is associated with hepatic steatosis and further features of the metabolic syndrome. A total of 716 male subjects from the Metabolic Intervention Cohort Kiel (MICK) and 103 male subjects with histologically...
