1 BACKGROUND: The affinity of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FABP) for fatty acids is regulated by the polymorphism at codon 54 of the FABP2 gene (alanine-to-threonine shift). Fatty Acids fatty acid binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: The affinity of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FABP) for fatty acids is regulated by the polymorphism at codon 54 of the FABP2 gene (alanine-to-threonine shift). Fatty Acids fatty acid binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: The threonine-encoding allele of the FABP2 gene is associated with an increased postprandial response of 14-18-carbon fatty acids but not with changes in the relative amounts of individual fatty acids introduced to chylomicron triacylglycerols. Fatty Acids fatty acid binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
