Project description:We have carried out whole-genome expression profiling of whole blood from obese subjects, defined as obese diet-sensitive and obese diet-resistant, and well matched lean individuals. The diet-sensitive or diet-resistant status refers to the different rates of weight loss observed in the two groups on a low-calorie diet regimen. Bioinformatic analysis revealed alterations in transcription in key pathways that are consistent with impaired capacity for fatty acid oxidation driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis in obese subjects who are resistant to weight loss. A total of 80 samples are analyzed. This consists of 20 lean subjects studied at one timepoint and 20 obese subjects (10 diet-sensitive and 10 diet-resistant) studied at 3 timepoints during caloric restriction (day of entry into program, week 3 into the program and week 6 into the program)

Project description:Skeletal muscle (rectus femoris) gene expression was analyzed from diet-resistant and diet-sensitive obese women undergoing clinically supervised weight-loss at a weight management clinic The goal of the study was to characterize global gene expression profiles in skeletal muscle from obese women, prior to their participation in a clinically supervised, low-calorie diet, weight management program. Following entry into the weight-loss program, subjects can be categorized as being 'diet-sensitive' or 'diet-resistant' depending on the rates of weight loss achieved. In the current study, we selected an equal number of diet-sensitive and diet-resistant subjects for comparative expression profiling
Project description:The study aimed to investigate molecular signatures in peripheral blood of individuals affected by metabolic syndrome (MetS) and different degrees of obesity. Metabolic health of 1204 individuals was assessed, and 32 subjects were recruited to four study groups: MetS lean, MetS obese, “healthy obese” and healthy lean. Whole-blood transcriptome next generation sequencing with functional data analysis was carried out.
Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 3.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from obese and lean human subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile exosomes shed from obese and lean human subcutaneous fat that was cultured for 60 minutes.

Project description:5 arrays from obese insulin-resistant and lean insulin-sensitive females adipose tissue at fasting and after 3h hyperinsulinemia 5 arrays from obese insulin-resistant and lean insulin-sensitive females adipose tissue at fasting and after 3h hyperinsulinemia FIR x 5, FIS x 5, HIR x 5, HIS x 5 F=fasting, H=hyperinsulinemia, IR=Insulin-resistant, IS=Insulin-sensitive (FIR, FIS, HIR, HIS)
Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from lean and obese subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile FABP4+ (adipocyte-derived) exosomes isolated from serum of lean and obese subjects.
Project description:Affymetrix miRNA 3.0 array profiling of adipocyte-derived exosomes from obese and lean human subjects. We used miRNA arrays to profile exosomes shed from obese and lean human subcutaneous fat that was cultured for 60 minutes. Human obese and lean subcutaneous fat were surgically acquired, dissected, and promptly cultured for 60 minutes. We used the culture supernatants for exosome purification and isolation using ExoQuick-TC Precipitation Solution.
