Sex Differences in Gene Expression in Human Adipose Tissue

NCT00677651 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2009-08-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project was created to assess sex differences in adipose tissue gene expression in different locations in the body. The primary objectives are to understand:

1. The mechanisms of differential body fat distribution in men and women
2. How body fat distribution is affected by reproductive hormones
3. The mechanisms linking fat distribution to health risks such as diabetes
