(a) Significant activated and suppressed pathways in adipose tissue within the intervention group in a 12-week HIIT; (b) Pearson’s correlation between significant pathways and clinical parameters; EMC, extracellular matrix; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; TGF, transforming growth factor; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; increased size of dots shows increased number of gene counts involved in the pathway; gene ratio is the ratio of significantly differentially expressed genes vs. all annotated genes per pathway; the color shows the p-values; the brighter the green, the lower the p-value.
