Serum Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 Is an Early Marker for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4, also designated as adipocyte-FABP or aP2) has been described to be most exclusively expressed in adipocytes and macrophages. Circulating FABP4 levels have been linked to metabolic alternations that are associated adiposity. We have recently reported that FABP4 is
