Expression for fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3), carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1a (CPT1a) and the NAD(P)H oxidase subunit p47PHOX was significantly upregulated for HFDs compared to controls, whereby the significantly higher FABP3 level for HF/n-3 represents the second highest change between HFDs. The gene discussed is FABP3; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
