Are visceral and truncal subcutaneous adipose tissue associated with impaired capillary recruitment in healthy individuals?
Our data in adults suggest a role for visceral adiposity and its associated proinflammatory state in capillary dysfunction and its possible sequelae such as hypertension and insulin resistance. Also, our findings in children and adults suggest that truncal sc adiposity is detrimental for capillary perfusion and that this process may start before puberty.
EMX2 expression is downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Low EMX2 mRNA expression is significantly associated with decreased OS and RFS in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, particularly with stage I disease and BAC.
