Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein potentiates toxic lipids-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress via its inhibition of autophagy

Abstract

Oral PresentationINTRODUCTION: Chronic inflammation is the key link between obesity and its related cardio-metabolic complications. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is the potent trigger of inflammation in obese adipose tissue. However, the mechanism that links ER stress with inflammation is unclear. Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) has been shown to ...published_or_final_versionThe 17th Medicial Research Conference, Department of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, 14 January 2012.
