FAS and renal cell carcinoma: RCC samples from female patients had increased angiogenesis (mean Z score, 0.24 vs. 0.05; P < 0.001), FAO/AMPK signaling (mean Z score, 0.23 vs. –0.02; P < 0.001), and FAS/pentose phosphate scores (mean Z score, 0.15 vs. –0.01; P < 0.05), while complement cascade (mean Z score, –0.09 vs. 0.03; P < 0.05) and Ω-oxidation scores (mean Z score, –0.13 vs. –0.05; P < 0.05) were decreased compared with those of male patients.
