Abstract
When lean and obese Zucker rats were fed a low-fat diet (6.5 percent lipid-derived energy) their hepatic fatty acid binding protein (FABP) concentrations and activities were comparable. After 18 days of fat-feeding (57 percent lipids) FABP concentration and activities were significantly increased to the same extent in both genotypes. Thus hepatic FABP levels are subject to modulation by dietary lipids but not by genetic obesity.
