Vitamin D and Swimming Exercise Prevent Obesity in Rats under a High-Fat Diet via Targeting FATP4 and TLR4 in the Liver and Adipose Tissue.
Title: Vitamin D and Swimming Exercise Prevent Obesity in Rats under a High-Fat Diet via Targeting FATP4 and TLR4 in the Liver and Adipose Tissue.
FAT/CD36 and FATP4 are the most effective fatty acid transporters in skeletal muscle.
Title: Greater transport efficiencies of the membrane fatty acid transporters FAT/CD36 and FATP4 compared with FABPpm and FATP1 and differential effects on fatty acid esterification and oxidation in rat skeletal muscle.
Refeeding after both fasting phases induces an increase in FATP4 accompanied by a rapid lipid uptake by the enterocytes at the tip of the villi and a rapid extension of the lamina propria due to inflated lymphatic vessels.
Title: Morphological changes of the rat intestinal lining in relation to body stores depletion during fasting and after refeeding.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
