Figure 3. The thermogenic gene program is increased in primary hyperparathyroidism patients.
(A-D) Subcutaneous and deep cervical fat samples were collected from patients undergoing neck surgeries. Gene expression levels were compared between subcutaneous and deep cervical samples (n = 23) (A-B) or within subcutaneous fat (C) and deep cervical fat (D) of control and primary hyperparathyroidism patients (PHPT) (n = 11-12). mRNA levels were determined by RT-qPCR. Statistics by two-tailed t-test.
