In the present study, we examined the expression of glucose transporters (GLUT-1, GLUT-4) and fatty acids transporters (FAT/CD36, FATP-1, FATP-4) at transcript and protein levels as well as cytosolic fatty acid binding proteins (H-FABP, ACBP) in human fibroids (n=74, size up to 3cm diameter) and compared with pair-matched healthy myometrium.
