1 20019683 To determine the potential role of the transcriptional factor-activating enhancer-binding protein-2beta (TFAP2B) in the regulation of expression of adipokines, adiponectin, leptin, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in vivo, we quantified the mRNA expression levels of these adipokines and TFAP2B in visceral (omental) and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissues of 66 individuals with variable degree of adiposity and studied their correlations with BMI and their plasma concentrations.
2 20019683 Whereas TFAP2B mRNA expression did not correlate with BMI, it correlated negatively with adiponectin expression in the subcutaneous adipose tissue.
3 20019683 Furthermore, TFAP2B mRNA expression correlated negatively with leptin and positively with IL-6 expression in both subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues.
