Abstract excerpt
Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) participates in the metabolism of fatty acids in the intestinal enterocytes. Threonine encoding allele in codon 54 of the I-FABP gene has been suggested as regulating the absorption of long-chain fatty acids. We examined the fatty acid composition of serum lipid fractions and the concentration of serum free fatty acids after an overnight fast in obese subjects, aged...
