Abstract excerpt
We studied the relationship between fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) and obesity in vivo and the effects of FABP3 on signal transduction for glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells in vitro. In obese mice, the level of FABP3 protein in gastrocnemius muscles increased significantly with an increase in body weight and metabolic phenotypes, suggesting a close relationship between FABP3 expression in the muscle...
