SEX DIFFERENCES IN GENE EXPRESSION IN HUMAN ADIPOSE TISSUE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 该项目是与马里兰州大学合作的一部分，旨在评估不同脂肪库中脂肪组织基因表达的性别差异。 主要目的是：1）了解男性和女性体内脂肪分布差异的机制; 2）确定生殖激素如何影响体内脂肪分布; 3）了解脂肪分布与健康风险之间的联系机制。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Project is part of a collaboration with the Univ of Maryland to assess sex differences in adipose tissue gene expression in different fat depots. The primary objects are to 1)understand the mechanisms of differential body fat distribution in men and women 2)determine how body fat distribution is affected by reproductive hormones 3)understand the mechanisms linking fat distribution to health risks.
