*Differentially expressed genes between KC and RHMs that were classified within the GO cellular component term “extracellular region part” are listed.

†The top 16 KC marker genes listed are expressed at least fivefold higher in KC vs. RHM from NC- or HFD-fed mice. The top 11 RHM markers are all expressed at least threefold higher in RHMs vs. KCs. All markers are expressed at 200 counts per gene or more. RNA-seq studies used three biological replicates per each group.
