Abstract:ObjectiveVisceral adiposity is associated with increased proinflammatory activity, insulin resistance, diabetes risk and mortality rate. Numerous individual genes have been associated with obesity, but studies investigating gene-regulatory networks in human visceral obesity are lacking.MethodsWe analyzed gene-regulatory networks in human visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from 48 obese and 11 non-obese Chinese subjects using gene co-expression and network construction with RNA-sequencing data. We also conducted RNA… Show more
