We aimed to study the relationship of the transcript levels of peroxisome proliferator activator receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBP-α), liver X receptor (LXR), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from obese and normal-weight women with a variety of anthropometric indices, metabolic and biochemical parameters, and insulin resistance. The gene discussed is FASN; the disease is Insulin resistance.
