Adipocyte DIO2 Expression Increases in Human Obesity but Is Not Related to Systemic Insulin Sensitivity

Table 2

Correlation coefficients () between adipocyte DIO2 gene expression (fold change) in visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue and gene expression of markers of mitochondrial function, fatty acid oxidation/synthesis, and pro- and anti-inflammatory genes.
