Transcriptome profiling reveals novel BMI- and sex-specific gene expression signatures for human cardiac hypertrophy
12 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
How obesity or sex may affect the gene expression profiles of human cardiac hypertrophy is unknown. We hypothesized that body-mass index (BMI) and sex can affect gene expression profiles of cardiac hypertrophy. Human heart tissues were grouped according to sex (male, female), BMI (lean<25 kg/m2, obese>30 kg/m2), or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and non-LVH nonfailed controls (NF). We identified 24...
