DNA methylation profile of genes involved in inflammation and autoimmunity correlates with vascular function in morbidly obese adults
25 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Blood-detected epigenetic profiles may serve as non-invasive clinically relevant biomarkers. Therefore, we investigated DNA methylation of genes involved in inflammation in peripheral blood of obese subjects and lean controls and their correlation with cardiometabolic measurements. We obtained blood and adipose tissue (AT) samples from bariatric patients...
