Subcutaneous and omental white adipose tissue biopsies analysed from five obese patients

ABSTRACT: The objective was to characterize differences in the secretome of human omental compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue using global gene expression profiling. Gene expression was measured using Affymetrix microarrays in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue (n=5 independent subjects; 10 arrays). Predictive bioinformatic algorithms were employed to identify those differentially expressed genes that code for secreted proteins and to identify common pathways between these proteins. The time course data was not included in the publication and has yet to be published. Patients undergoing surgery were weight stable one month prior to the operation and were not on any medication. All patients provided informed written consent before inclusion in the study which was approved by the North of
