Figure 4From: Stem cells isolated from adipose tissue of obese patients show changes in their transcriptomic profile that indicate loss in stemcellness and increased commitment to an adipocyte-like phenotypeCorrelation between gene expression and the presence of various cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). CVRF such as morbid obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, tobacco, previous cardiovascular event and/or dyslipidemia were correlated with gene expression. Correlation significances were determined by Spearman correlation (Rho coefficient). NCVRF, number of cardiovascular risk factors.Back to article page
