| Collection Summary: | Samples of human white adipose tissue from a total of 86 donors were kindly provided by Matthias Blüher as a part of Leipzig Obesity BioBank. Tissue collection was approved by the Ethics committee of the University of Leipzig (approval number: 159-12-21052012) and all subjects gave written informed consent before taking part in the study. Removed tissue samples were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further analysis. For the purpose of this study, we included adipose tissue samples from abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) fat depots of lean (BMI < 25kg/m²; n = 5) and obese (BMI > 40kg/m²; n = 81) individuals. Representative tissue pools were generated according to depot and phenotype specificity. |
