Interestingly, several of the DEGs that we detected in rhesus visceral WAT, including DKK2, SVEP1, NRCAM, GPT, and DMAP1, were previously reported to be differentially expressed in subcutaneous WAT of PCOS women42, confirming that our model is recapitulating some of the transcriptional changes observed in this disease, albeit in different depots. Here, DKK2 is linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
