Epigenetic regulation of diabetogenic adipose morphology
17 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hypertrophic white adipose tissue (WAT) morphology is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms governing hyperplastic versus hypertrophic WAT expansion are poorly understood. We assessed if epigenetic modifications in adipocytes are associated with hypertrophic adipose morphology. A subset of genes with differentially methylated CpG-sites (DMS) in the promoters was taken...
