Clock genes expression in subcutaneous and visceral fat by sex. Relative gene expression of clock genes derived from subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue in men (n=8) and women (n=8). Results are presented relative to the lowest basal relative expression for each gene (gene expression in men is set the value of 1 as reference). Data of relative expression are represented as arbitrary units (AU). Data are reported as means ± SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.001 (Student's t test)
