Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are members of a superfamily of lipid-binding proteins,
and occur intracellularly in vertebrates and invertebrates. This review presents recent …

Biomaterials based upon elastin and elastin-derived molecules are increasingly investigated
for their application in tissue engineering. This interest is fuelled by the remarkable …

A number of biochemical defects have been identified in glucose metabolism within skeletal
muscle in obesity, and positive effects of weight loss on insulin resistance are also well …

Porous collagen matrices with defined physical, chemical and biological characteristics are
interesting materials for tissue engineering. Attachment of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) may …

Procedures are described for the estimation of the succinate: ubiquinone oxidoreductase and
succinate: phenazine methosulfate oxidoreductase activities in post-nuclear supernatants …

Lipid-binding,-transfer or-exchange proteins are present in intra-and extracellular fluids of all
organisms. They play a role in the transport or targeting of lipids in the cell or in the plasma, …

The many biocharacteristics of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) make them valuable molecules
to be incorporated in collagenous biomaterials. To prepare tailor-made collagen–GAG …

Intramuscular fat content is a major determinant of meat quality in pigs. Previously,
polymorphisms in the adipocyte and heart fatty acid-binding protein genes, A-FABP and H-FABP, …

In order to find genetic markers to improve the meat quality of pigs by breeding we studied
the relationship between variation in the heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) gene (…
