Gene expression in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
A large body of evidence demonstrates depot-specific differences in the expression of genes coding important functional proteins in adipocytes. This may contribute to the well-known specific functional properties of the adipocytes from intra-abdominal and subcutaneous regions. This review will focus on the main findings regarding the regional differences in adipocyte gene expression in humans. These genes encode...
