Likewise, WAT epithelial, adipose stem and progenitor cells also exhibit increased activity in two further key metabolic reactions in serine metabolism, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGDH, EC 1.1.1.95, Cohen's d ≥0.4) and serine‐pyruvate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.51, Cohen's d ≥0.4) in sepsis (Table S5, Supporting Information). This evidence concerns the gene PHGDH and Sepsis.
