Objective: To investigate whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) gene expression in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue was related to intake of several fatty acid intakes.Methods: For the current study 97 subjects (41 non-obese, 18 obese, and 38 morbid obese) were selected. All of the subjects were free of diabetes and cancers and without using anti-lipid medication. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues were obta...

Introduction: Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) is a distinguished transcription factor abundantly expressed in the adipose tissues and plays a key role in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation and development of obesity. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the association of PPAR-γ mRNA expression in omental and subcutaneous adipose tissues with anthropometric indices and blood pressure (BP) among healthy adults.<p class=...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the association between tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) gene expression and B-Raf Proto-Oncogene (BRAF) V600E mutation in marginal and tumoral tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.Methods: Sixty fresh frozen tissues of PTC including 55.3% women were collected during thyroidectomy surgery. All clinicopathologic features of subjects were collected which confirmed by a patholo...
