It should also be considered that exogenous stearate metabolism could be favoured by the increased uptake in CAF livers since upregulation of the long-chain FA transport proteins, mainly FATP2 and FATP5, has been reported in other models of experimental obesity and steatosis [56,57,58,59]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC27A2 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
