Objective: Zinc-α2 glycoprotein (ZAG) stimulates lipid loss by adipocytes and may be involved in the regulation of adipose tissue metabolism. We analyze ZAG expression levels in adipose tissue from a group of morbidly obese patients, and their relationship with lipogenic and lipolytic genes and with insulin resistance (IR).Design: mRNA expression levels of PPARgamma, IRS-1, IRS-2, lipogenic and lipolytic genes and ZAG were quantified in visceral (VA...
