Adipose tissue and serum CCDC80 in obesity and its association with related metabolic disease.

ABSTRACT: Coiled-coil domain-containing 80 (CCDC80) is an adipocyte-secreted protein that modulates glucose homeostasis in response to diet-induced obesity in mice. The objective of this study is to analyze the link between human CCDC80 and obesity. CCDC80 protein expression was assessed in paired visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue from 10 subjects (BMI range 22.4-38.8 kg/m²). Circulating CCDC80 levels were quantified in serum samples from two independent cross-sectional cohorts comprising 33 lean and 15 obese (cohort 1) and 32 morbid obese (cohort 2) male subjects. Insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and blood neutrophil count were quantified in serum samples from both cohorts. Additionally, circulating free IGF-1 levels and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were a
