Journal ArticleDOI

Uptake of Long Chain Free Fatty Acids Is Selectively Up-regulated in Adipocytes of Zucker Rats with Genetic Obesity and Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: These studies indicate 1) that regulation of fatty acid uptake is tissue-specific and 2) that up-regulation of adipocyte fatty acids uptake is an early event in Zucker fa/fa rats, independent of the role of any particular fatty acid transporter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of plasma membrane FABP and mitochondrial isoform of aspartate aminotransferase from rat liver

TL;DR: Comparison of the chemical and immunological properties of rat liver m-AspAT with those ofRat liver FABPpm isolated by two procedures revealed no differences with respect to NH2-terminal amino acid sequence, amino acid composition, peptides from tryptic digests, AspAT enzymatic activity, and isoelectric point.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells involves augmented expression of a 43-kDa plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein.

TL;DR: In 8-day adipocytes saturable oleate uptake was inhibited by up to 55% by antibodies against rat liver FABPPM; these antibodies had no effect on uptake of 2-deoxyglucose or the medium chain fatty acid octanoate, and these studies support the hypothesis that FABpPM is a component of a saturable transport mechanism for long chain fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethanol up-regulates fatty acid uptake and plasma membrane expression and export of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase in HepG2 cells

TL;DR: The data suggest that the increased plasma mAspAT observed in alcoholics may reflect pharmacologic upregulation of m aspartate aminotransferase mRNA and of mAsPAT synthesis by ethanol; and increased m aspAT‐mediated fatty acid uptake may contribute to alcoholic fatty liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin- and leptin-regulated fatty acid uptake plays a key causal role in hepatic steatosis in mice with intact leptin signaling but not in ob/ob or db/db mice

TL;DR: Increased LCFA uptake, reflecting SREBP1c-mediated upregulation of four distinct transporters, is the dominant cause of steatosis in EtOH-fed mice and appears to be essential for full expression of upregulation by insulin.
