Regional Differences in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Gene Expression
Adipose tissue (AT) located in the viscera is considered to be functionally and metabolically different from that found in the subcutaneous depot. However, subcutaneous AT (SAT) in generalized regions is considered to be homogeneous in nature. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays were used to determine differential gene expression in four subcutaneous adipose depots (upper abdomen, lowe...
متن کاملMicroRNA Expression in Human Omental and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, that play important regulatory roles in a variety of biological processes, including development, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism. In mammals, miRNAs have been shown to modulate adipocyte differentiation. Therefore, we performed a global miRNA gene expression assay in different fat depots of overweight and obese individuals to investigate...
متن کاملAllele-specific expression of angiotensinogen in human subcutaneous adipose tissue.
The angiotensinogen gene is genetically linked with hypertension, but the mechanistic basis for association of sequence variants in the promoter and coding region of the gene remains unclear. An E-box at position -20 has been hypothesized to control the level of angiotensinogen expression, but its mechanistic importance for angiotensinogen expression in human tissues is uncertain. We developed ...
متن کاملRegional differences in protein production by human adipose tissue.
Human adipose tissue has an important protein secretory function. Cytokines, hormones, prohormones and enzymes are secreted from fat cells and act in an endocrine or paracrine fashion. The production of several of these proteins is affected by obesity; normally there is an increase in the obese state. Protein production is, as a metabolic activity, subject to regional variations. In particular,...
متن کاملGene expression in human brown adipose tissue.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has profound effects on body weight and metabolism in rodents. Recent reports show that human adults have significant amounts of BAT. Our aim was to study the gene expression profile of human BAT. Biopsies of adipose tissue with brown-red color and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) were obtained from 24 patients undergoing surgery in the thyroid region. Intrasca...
