n-3 PUFA reduction caused by fabp2 deletion interferes with triacylglycerol metabolism and cholesterolhomeostasis in fish
Fatty acid-binding protein 2 (Fabp2), which is involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acids, is widely studied in mammals. Nevertheless, the role of this protein in teleost fish is mostly unknown. Here,...
