BACKGROUND: ME1, also known as NADP-ME, MES or HUMNDME, may play an important role as a housekeeping protein within the cell (1) . ME1 is a 572 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the malic enzyme family (2) . It is expressed ubiquitously with highest expression in liver and white adipose tissue. ME1 functions as an NADP-dependent enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis (3) . The activity of this enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles (3, 4) . ME1 is regulated by both thyroid hormone levels and the amount of carbohydrates in the diet (5) .
