Enterohepatic recycling occurs by biliary excretion and intestinal reabsorption of a solute,
sometimes with hepatic conjugation and intestinal deconjugation. Cycling is often …

Fatty acid–binding proteins (FABPs) are abundant intracellular proteins that bind long-chain
fatty acids with high affinity. Nine separate mammalian FABPs have been identified, and …

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 …

The endocannabinoid anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) is an uncharged
neuromodulatory lipid that, similar to many neurotransmitters, is inactivated through its …

While aspects of cellular fatty acid uptake have been studied as early as 50 years ago,
recent developments in this rapidly evolving field have yielded new functional insights on …

While low levels of unesterified long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are normal metabolic
intermediates of dietary and endogenous fat, LCFAs are also potent regulators of key …

Lipid-binding,-transfer or-exchange proteins are present in intra-and extracellular fluids of all
organisms. They play a role in the transport or targeting of lipids in the cell or in the plasma …

Abnormal energy regulation may significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity,
diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. For rapid control of energy …

Sex-dependent differences in adaptation to famine have long been appreciated, thought to
hinge on female versus male preferences for fat versus protein sources, respectively …

Intestinal absorptive cells contain high levels of expression of two homologous fatty acid-
binding proteins (FABP), liver FABP (L-FABP), and intestinal FABP (I-FABP). Both bind long …
