Gene expression profile of omental adipose tissue in human obesity
20 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to gain insight into the pathophysiology of obesity by comparing the pattern of gene expression of omental adipose tissue of obese and lean volunteers using DNA microarrays. Omental adipose tissue biopsies were obtained by laparoscopic surgery from six male patients (44.2+/-6.3 yr). RNA was extracted and pooled for the obese (BMI: 37.3+/-2.5 kg/m2) and lean (BMI: 23.4+/-0.8 kg/m2)...
