Genes regulating adipogenesis, including, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and CCAT/enhancer-binding proteins alpha (C/EBPα), as well as lipogenic genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), were up-regulated in mesenteric adipose tissues from the HF group. The gene discussed is SREBF1; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
