Ectopic Fatty Acid–Binding Protein 4 Expression in the Vascular Endothelium is Involved in Neointima Formation After Vascular Injury

BackgroundFatty acid‐binding protein 4 (FABP4) is expressed in adipocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells of capillaries but not arteries. FABP4 is secreted from adipocytes in association with lipolysis, and an elevated circulating FABP4 level is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and...
