Research Abstract |
Thus far, energy metabolism has been mostly studied with energy-consuming parenchymal cells. In our project, we focused on muscle-type continuous capillary. FABP4/FABP5 expressed in endothelial cells of the muscle-type continuous capillary plays a pivotal role in trans-endothelial FA transport. Components of Notch signaling and PPAR-・ expressed in capillary endothelial cells regulate trans-endothelial fatty acid transport via induction of FABP4. Our study proposes the concept of trans-endothelial fatty acid transport, which may provide a new approach to treat metabolic diseases.
