Depot-specific gene expression in preadipocytes. a Venn diagram depicts the number of genes that were differentially expressed between abdominal and GF preadipocytes in each subject or in both (p < 0.05). b Heat map representation of depot-specific gene expression determined by RNA-seq from the abdominal and GF depots of two subjects (Sub). The top 10 signature genes of each depot are listed. c Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of the potential upstream regulators of abdominal- and GF-specific gene sets. Upstream regulators that fall into the category of cytokines and growth factors are presented
