Consuming increasing doses of beans reduced expression of the plasma membrane FA-binding protein (FABPpm, encoded by Fabp2) and FA translocase/cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36)—higher levels of which are a biomarker of high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis [34] and whose reduction had a larger magnitude in males than in females (Figure 6). The gene discussed is FABP2; the disease is fatty liver disease.
