The hepatic mRNA expression of liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) (<i>p</i> = 0.006), fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS-1) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), elongase-2 (ELOV-2) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), fatty acid transport protein-1 (FATP1) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and the intestinal mRNA expression of FATP and FABP genes were increased with WFD compared to CFD. Here, FADS1 is linked to fleck corneal dystrophy.
