Figure 1. Patterns of CpG Methylation in abdominal SAT. A:

DMH data show a bimodal pattern consistent with hypo- and hypermethylation. B: CpG sites close to TSS’s on the X chromosome are hemimethylated in females. C: CpG sites close to TSS’s of Imprinted Genes are hemimethylated D: Lower methylation is observed around TSS’s (black line shows 300 bp sliding window median methylation score).
