Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
- ANGPTL4 protein expression (plasma, adipose tissue) - ANGPTL4 gene expression (circulating immune cells, adipose tissue) - LPL protein expression (adipose tissue) - LPL gene expression (circulating immune cells, adipose tissue) - LPL activity (adipose tissue)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- gene expression patterns (circulating immune cells, adipose tissue) - post-transcriptional changes (circulating immune cells, adipose tissue) - Markers of metabolic status, such as adipose tissue health and cardio-metabolic risk factors (plasma/serum, adipose tissue)
