now is the fact that these things may apply to humans. Humans with mutations in the gene that makes CD36 don't seem to process fat normally either," Abumrad says.

The researcher further said that her goal was to determine the same the findings of mice studies into humans, where variations in the CD36 gene are common. She, however, admitted that before so doing, she wanted to learn more from animal studies.

"There is evidence that people have different amounts of CD36 and that mutations in the gene are quite common," she said.

"Those variations are associated with abnormalities of blood lipids, with high levels of fatty acids in the blood, abnormal blood triglycerides and increased risk of diabetes-associated heart disease. It's clear that some of us have different amounts of this protein in different tissues, and some individuals don't have any of it," she added.

The study has been published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
