Defect in human myocardial long-chain fatty acid uptake is caused by FAT/CD36 mutations

Defect in human myocardial long-chain fatty acid uptake is caused by FAT/CD36 mutations

Because of the importance of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) as a myocardial energy substrate, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been of particular interest for the understanding of cardiac pathophysiology. Recently, by using radiolabeled LCFA analogues, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been clinically ev...
