Fatty acid-dependent expression of the muscle FABP gene - comparative analysis of gene control in functionally related, but evolutionary distant animal systems

The heart is the most fatty acid-dependent muscle in mammals, but flight muscles of birds and insects encounter even higher rates of fatty acid oxidation. The amount of the muscle fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) found in these muscle reflects their metabolic activities, and increased fatty acid...
