title: The effect of feeding high corn oil on fatty-acid-binding-protein isolated from rat liver.
abstract: Fatty-acid-binding-protein isolated from liver of rats receiving normal or high fat diet was studied by three different methods. The effect of high fat diet on the thermal stability of the protein was determined employing differential scanning calorimetry. Fatty acids have a stabilizing effect on the thermal stability of the protein. In order to determine the relative binding affinity of native and delipidated protein a Sephadex G-50 assay was employed using [1-14C] oleate as ligand. The delipidated protein exhibited greater binding of oleate than did the native material. Increases in the transfer of oleic acid from rat liver microsomes to egg lecithin liposomes in vitro were also observed when protein obtained from both sources were delipidated. The results suggest that high corn oil diet would modify the properties of fatty-acid-binding-protein in the uptake and cytosolic transport of long-chain fatty acids.
