We sought to assess whether direct uptake of circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) by
adipocytes occurs in vivo in overnight postabsorptive humans and, if so, whether there are …

Are the different fatty acids mobilized into plasma in proportion to their concentrations in
adipose tissue triglyceride? To answer this question, we fed weaning rabbits a special diet …

Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) and liver FABP (LFABP), homologous proteins
expressed at high levels in intestinal absorptive cells, employ markedly different …

A portion of the hepatocellular uptake of nonesterified long-chain fatty acids is mediated by a
specific 40-kDa plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein, which has also been isolated …

Cellular fatty acid uptake is facilitated by a number of fatty acid transporters, FAT/CD36,
FABPpm and FATP1. It had been presumed that FABPpm, was confined to the plasma …

Biosynthesis of lipids was investigated in growing 293 cells stably expressing fatty acid (FA)
transport protein 1 (FATP1), a bifunctional polypeptide with FA transport as well as fatty acyl …

Background Mechanisms of long chain fatty acid uptake across the plasma membrane are
important targets in treatment of many human diseases like obesity or hepatic steatosis …

Long chain fatty acid uptake was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells. Differentiation of these cells
from fibroblasts to adipocytes was accompanied by an 8.5-fold increase in the rate of oleate …

Female liver clears long-chain fatty acids from plasma more rapidly than male liver, and yet
the basis for this sex difference is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that cytosolic …

The effect of fatty acids on secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (d less than 1.006 g/ml) by
CaCo-2 cells was studied. Of the fatty acids studied, oleic acid (18: 1) was the most potent …
