Comparison of Gene Transcription between Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipose Tissue in Chinese Adults
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Obese individuals with fat stored in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) generally suffer greater adverse metabolic consequences than those with fat stored predominantly in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), but its molecular basis is not completely understood. We isolated paired samples of SAT and VAT from 15 lean and 15 obese subjects and systematically compared the transcription level of genes that may determine fat...
