Article Synopsis
- FABP4 I74 V polymorphism in Japanese Black cattle affects palmitoleic acid levels, with I/I genotype having higher levels than V/V genotype.
- Cellular studies revealed that FABP4 V/V showed nuclear localization, whereas I/I was mostly found in lipid droplets, indicating distinct cellular behavior.
- The findings suggest that differences in fatty acid transport capacity and the impact of palmitoleic acid on lipid droplet size contribute to variations in fatty acid content based on FABP4 genotypes.
Dexamethasone and acetate modulate cytoplasmic leptin in bovine preadipocytes.

Hormonal and nutrient signals regulate leptin synthesis and secretion. In rodents, leptin is stored in cytosolic pools of adipocytes. However, not much information is available regarding the regulation of intracellular leptin in ruminants.
