Comparison of adipose tissue derived genes in endogenous Cushing's syndrome versus diet-induced obesity.

CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were found in the expression of the investigated genes known as cardiometabolic risk factors. This indicates that there are no major differences between endogenous hypercortisolism or diet induced obesity regarding the expression of adipokines involved in cardiometabolic disorders. However, the difference in AGT and IL-6 expression might be included in pathways affecting fat distribution in CS. PMID: 30480750 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
