Increased formation of lipid droplet in VAT and SAT of obese individuals after extensive weight loss.
Even though limited number of metabolic genes was differentially expressed in both adipose tissue depots, the expression of several genes involved in the formation of lipid droplets was increased. Red and dark red arrows indicated the significant upregulation of the associated genes in SAT only (light red) and in both SAT and VAT (dark red), respectively.
