Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein and cardiac troponin

Effect of Saffron Extract and Aerobic Exercises on Troponin T and Heart-Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Objective: Exercise and nutrition as life style modification strategies for the prevention and control of diabetes are considered. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of saffron consumption and aerobic exercises on serum levels of Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) and Troponin T in type2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experime...

Requirement for the heart-type fatty acid binding protein in cardiac fatty acid utilization.

Nonenzymatic cytosolic fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are abundantly expressed in many animal tissues with high rates of fatty acid metabolism. No physiological role has been demonstrated for any FABP, although these proteins have been implicated in transport of free long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and protection against LCFA toxicity. We report here that mice lacking heart-type FABP (H-FAB...

Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein as an Adjunct to Cardiac Troponin-I for the Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction

We hypothesized that when used in combination with cardiac troponins, heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) would have greater diagnostic value than conventional markers for the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Patients with typical chest pain at a single emergency department were consecutively enrolled. Initial blood samples were drawn for H-FABP, myoglobin, creatine kin...
