Fatty acid binding proteins-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of age-related diseases: A review.

Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) act as lipid chaperones and play a role in the pathological processes of various lipid signaling pathways. Mitochondria are crucial for the regulation of lipid metabolism. As an aging marker, lipid-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction has been observed in the etiology of numerous diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular diseases, and tumorigenesis.
