AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 expression in adipose tissue: Association with body fat distribution and regulatory variants
3 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Changes in androgen dynamics within adipose tissue have been proposed as modulators of body fat accumulation. In this context, AKR1C2 likely plays a significant role by inactivating 5α-dihydrotestosterone. AIM: To characterize AKR1C2 expression patterns across adipose depots and cell populations and to provide insight into the link with body fat distribution and genetic regulation. METHODS: We used...
