The brain is rich in lipid and fatty molecules. In this review article, we focus on fatty acid
binding proteins (Fabps) that bind to fatty acids such as arachidonic acid and …

To proliferate, metastasize, or resist stress conditions imposed by the microenvironment,
many cancer cells rely on fatty acid β-oxidation to generate acetyl-CoA and fuel the TCA …

Giant vesicles were used to study the rates of uptake of long-chain fatty acids by heart,
skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue of obese and lean Zucker rats. With obesity there was …

Uptake of nonesterified long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) into many cell types and organs such
as liver, heart, intestine, and skeletal muscle occurs primarily through a saturable, protein …

The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) comprise a family of 14–15 kDa proteins
which bind long-chain fatty acids. A role for FABPs in fatty acid transport has been …

Fatty acids (FAs) are typically associated with structural and metabolic roles, as they can be
stored as triglycerides, degraded by β-oxidation or used in phospholipids' synthesis, the …

Dysregulated lipid metabolism represents an important metabolic alteration in cancer. Fatty
acids, cholesterol, and phospholipid are the three most prevalent lipids that act as energy …

Over the past decade, the study of metabolic abnormalities in cancer cells has risen
dramatically. Cancer cells can thrive in challenging environments, be it the hypoxic and …

The dysregulation of lipid metabolism has been implicated in various diseases, including
diabetes, cardiopathies, dermopathies, retinal and neurodegenerative diseases. Mouse …

Recent advances in lipidomics and metabolomics have unveiled the complexity of fatty acid
metabolism and the fatty acid lipidome in health and disease. A growing body of evidence …
