A growing body of evidence indicates that adipose tissue actively secretes lipid binding proteins (LBPs) into circulatory system as paracrine signalling molecules. Among them, fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) and lipocalin 2 (LCN2) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insu...
