Abstract excerpt
Cathepsin L1 (CTSL1) and B (CTSB) are lysosomal proteases, of which the expression and activity are impaired in adipose tissue (AT) of obese rodents, indicating AT lysosomal dysfunction. Here we assess the relation between abdominal subcutaneous AT (SCAT) CTSL1 and CTSB gene expression (qRT-PCR), body composition and tissue-specific insulin resistance in 77 overweight/obese (BMI: 225.6-38.6 kg/m2) well phenotyped...
