Microarray analysis of gene expression in human adipocytes and adipose tissue
(2008-02-21)
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is associated with several serious conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Adipose tissue exerts important endocrine ...
Genes implicated in the development of obesity and obesity-related disease
(2001)
Obesity is a major health problem because of its dramatic increase in prevalence and the association of obesity with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke. Although mutations in certain genes ...
Gene expression in human adipose tissue. Studies of leptin and genes selected by expression profiling
(2002)
Obesity, and in particular the amount of visceral adipose tissue, is correlated to development of type 2diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to study genes expressed in humanadipose tissue that ...
Human adipose tissue. Genes predominantly expressed in the visceral depot and in hypertrophic adipocytes
(2006)
The obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and obesity is closely linked to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Both visceral fat accumulation and enlarged adipocyte size are risk factors for obesity related ...
