Microarray of microRNAs in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from 15 men, with paired gluteal adipose tissue from 8 of the men.

Abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies from 15 men (8 lean (BMI<25) and 7 overweight (BMI>25)) and paired gluteal adipose tissue biopsies from 8 of the men (5 lean and 3 overweight) were hybridized to individual Agilent Human microRNA Microarrays v2.0 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA). The DNA microarray scanner (Agilent G2565BA) was used to scan hybridized microarrays and features were extracted using the Agilent Feature Extraction image analysis tool (version 9.5.1) with default protocols and settings. Data were background corrected and quantile normalised in R using the Bioconductor AgiMicroRna package. Raw and quantile normalised datasets are provided.
