GE/miRNA expression profile of Human Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) vs. Controls (CTRL) - PART 1 - Genes

Gene expression profiles of Human EAT vs. SAT (CTRL & CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess a gene expression chart characterizing EAT vs. SAT, and CAD vs. CTRL. Results provide the information that EAT is characterized by a differential expression of different genes when compared to its reference tissue (SAT), and that EAT is characterized by specific gene expression changes in patients with CAD. RNA obtained from EAT & SAT of the same patients (paired samples). Comparisons: EAT vs. SAT (paired samples) & CAD vs. CTRL
