Blood biomarkers have been explored for their potential to provide objective measures in
the assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, it is not clear which biomarkers are …

BACKGROUND: One of the novel and promising plasma markers for detection of tissue
injury is the family of 15 kDa cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins of which various tissue …

The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) comprise a family of 14–15 kDa proteins
which bind long-chain fatty acids. A role for FABPs in fatty acid transport has been …

The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are abundantly expressed in almost all
tissues. They exhibit high affinity binding of a single long-chain fatty acid, with the exception …

The various and dynamic functions fulfilled by long-chain fatty acids in mammals require that
sufficient amounts of these compounds are transported between tissues and within tissue …

Intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins associate with fatty acids and other hydrophobic
biomolecules in an internal cavity, providing for solubilization and metabolic trafficking …

In contrast to other tissues, the nervous system is enriched in the polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs): arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4 n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6 n-3) …

Cerebral stroke, which is one of the most frequent causes of mortality and leading cause of
disability in developed countries, often leads to devastating and irreversible brain damage …

▪ Abstract Intracellular lipid-binding proteins are a family of low-molecular-weight single-
chain polypeptides that form 1: 1 complexes with fatty acids, retinoids, or other hydrophobic …

Any hypotheses concerning the origins of humans must explain many things. Among these
are: 1, the growth in brain size around two million years ago; 2, the presence of …
