  Abstract

Heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) has been associated with intramuscular fat content in pigs. In the present study, we showed that expression of H-FABP mRNA in adipose tissue of adult pigs was 8.5% of heart levels and 30% of skeletal muscle levels, and that H-FABP mRNA was more than 10% of adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) mRNA in adipose tissue. Levels of H-FABP mRNA reached a maximum in adipose tissue from 7d neonates with no further increase in the adult. Also, H-FABP mRNA was induced during adipogenic differentiation of stromal-vascular cells derived from both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. In conclusion, H-FABP may play a role in adipose tissue development and function in the pig.

Key Words: Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein, adipose tissue, heart fatty acid binding protein, skeletal muscle
