CRABP: cellular retinoic acid binding protein; CRBP: cellular retinol binding protein; FABP: fatty acid binding protein; I-BABP: intestinal bile acid binding protein; iLBP: intracellular lipid binding protein; ITC: isothermal titration calorimetry; PPAR: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor; PPRE: peroxisome proliferator responsive element; RAR: retinoic acid receptor; RARE: retinoic acid...

Fatty-acid-binding-protein isolated from liver of rats receiving normal or high fat diet was studied by three different methods. The effect of high fat diet on the thermal stability of the protein was determined employing differential scanning calorimetry. Fatty acids have a stabilizing effect on the thermal stability of the protein. In order to determine the relative binding affinity of native...
