Roles of fatty acid transport protein 4 in nonalcoholic fatty liver rats / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the roles of fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4) in rat model of nonalcoholic fatty liver. Methods The fatty liver rat model of high fatty diet (H) was established with a control group (C). The expression of FATP4 genes in fatty liver rats was examined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Results In group H, protein and mRNA expressions of FATP4 increased at 2 week, especially at 12 week after high fatty diet (P
