Consumption by animals and humans of earthy materials such as clay is often related to gut pathologies. Our aim was to determine the impact of kaolinite ingestion on glucose and NEFA transport through the intestinal mucosa. The expression of hexose transporters (Na/glucose co-transporter 1 (SGLT1), GLUT2, GLUT5) and of proteins involved in NEFA absorption (fatty acid transporter/cluster of diff...

There is a trend towards using high-lipid diets in aquaculture, which can be optimized by certain additives. This study investigated the effect of vitamin E (VE) supplementation diet on growth, serum and liver biochemical indexes, hepatic histology, lipid metabolism hybrid groupers (? Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ? lanceolatus ). Six groups iso-protein (50.23%) iso-lipidic (15.36%) experimental ...

We studied the involvement of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) in growth, differentiation and fatty acid metabolism of muscle cells by lipofection of rat L6 myoblasts with rat heart (H) FABP cDNA or with rat adipocyte (A) FABP cDNA in a eukaryotic expression vector which contained a puromycin acetyltransferase cassette. Stable transfectants showed integration into the genome for all constructs...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is closely associated with the mortality of hospitalized patients and long-term development of chronic kidney disease, especially in children. The purpose of our study was to assess the evidence of contrast-induced AKI after cardiac catheterization in children with heart disease and evaluate the clinical usefulness of candidate biomarkers in AKI. A total of 26 children...

This study was designed to investigate a single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 1 of the liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) gene in 156 Junmu No. 1 white swine using PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism. The association between the polymorphism and meat quality traits was also studied. The cloning and sequencing results indicated that the polymorphism in intron 1 was due...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships of serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) and epidermal fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP) with renal dysfunction and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The associations of serum A-FABP and E-FABP with markers of renal function, nephropathy staging, and macrovascular complications were e...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance can lead to the metabolic syndrome, which may have cardiovascular and metabolic consequences. The study aimed at verifying the serum concentration levels of the adipose tissue proteins adiponectin, adipocyte-fatty acid binding protein (a-FABP) and acylation stimulating protein (ASP), and the potential use of these markers for early diagnosis of insulin resistance. ...

Purpose: Non-invasive tests used in the screening and follow-up of celiac disease (CD) are currently below expectations because they show false negatives/positives not always correlated with duodenal histology. We aimed to investigate predictive value intestinal free fatty acid binding protein (FABP-I) which can easily be released into circulation presence enterocyte damage a short time CD. Met...
