Abstract

We have investigated the difference in gene expression of six proteins secreted by adipocytes in paired biopsies from visceral and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in nine individuals with various degrees of obesity. The mRNAs levels of leptin, TNFalpha, angiotensinogen, acylation stimulating protein (ASP), cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) were quantified by RT-competitive PCR. ASP and angiotensinogen mRNA levels were higher in the visceral fat, whereas the mRNA levels of leptin and CETP were higher in the subcutaneous depot. TNFalpha mRNA expression was similar in the two sites. For angiotensinogen, the difference was more pronounced in the subjects with body mass index (BMI) lower than 30 kg/m(2) whereas for ASP, CETP and leptin, the difference was observed regardless the BMI of the subjects. PLTP mRNA levels in subcutaneous, but not in the visceral, adipose tissue were positively related to the BMI of the subjects. These results strongly suggest that visceral and subcutaneous adipocytes may have different properties in the production of bioactive molecules.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
