FABP2 and necrotizing enterocolitis: As we mentioned before, in a study conducted by Benkoe et al. (2014), I-FABP was revealed as one of the relevant biomarkers for identifying NEC, and, although I-FABP has the lowest value among the three, they found the potential of I-FABP to differentiate between infants with surgical NEC and medical NEC to be in accordance with the increased level of I-FABP, but this increase did not reach statistical significance [5].
