Furthermore, genes found in adipose tissue samples exhibited relationships to GO pathways associated with the innate immune system (DSG1, NPG2), atherosclerosis (GSTA2), calcium ion binding and motor activity (MYH4, MYL4), cellular processes (GSTA2, RPL29, MYOZ1, HP), fatty acyl and cholesterol ester metabolism (CES1), glycolysis and gluconeogenesis (PGK2), and the acute inflammatory response (HP). Here, CES1 is linked to atherosclerosis.
