Genes involved in glucose metabolism and insulin signalling in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue of lean (C57BL/6J) and obese (C57BL/6J-Lep^ob) mice exhibiting a twofold or greater change after exposure to IH for 5 days

n	GenBank accession number	Name	Up (+) or down (−) regulation (fold difference)
			Lean mice	Obese mice
1	AI882416	Leptin	+3.3	NC
2	M21247	Uncoupling protein 1	NC	−5.6
3	U50413	Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, p85 alpha subunit	−2.2	NC
4	X51975	Interleukin 6 receptor alpha	−6.4	NC
5	AI574278	Insulin degrading enzyme	−7	NC
6	AV023068	Caveolin 3	−15.7	+4.2

NC, no change or less than twofold difference was found in comparison with intermittent air control. IH, intermittent hypoxia.
