Fig 2. Gene expression related to fatty acid metabolism in the right atrial myocardium.

Fig 2

(A) CD36, (B) FABP3, and (C) CPT1B. Atrial gene expression of FABP3 (which facilitates fatty acid uptake into the cell and intracellular fatty acid transport) was significantly higher in the AF group than in the SR group, however, there was no difference in CD36 (which facilitates fatty acid uptake across the plasma membrane) and CPT1B (which facilitates fatty acid transport into the mitochondria) between the groups. Lines indicate the median with interquartile range in each group (SR; n = 38 except for CD36 [n = 37], AF; n = 13). CD36, cluster of differentiation 36 (fatty acid translocase); CPT1B, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B; FABP3, fatty acid binding protein 3.
