Table 1.

Differentially methylated regions in epididymal and inguinal adipocytes from diet-induced and ob/ob mice. Proportion of hyper- and hypo-methylated regions and number of genes mapped within the +/−10kb region of the DMRs. DMRs: Differentially methylated regions. DIO: Diet-induced obese.

Origin of isolated mature adipocytes	Number of DMRs (p-value <0.001) as compared with lean mice	Number of Hypermethylated regions (obese > lean)	Number of Hypomethylated regions (lean > obese)	Number of genes mapped by DMRs
Epididymal tissue from DIO mice (n = 3)	5393	512	4881	3013
Epididymal tissue from ob/ob mice (n = 4)	773	0	773	318
Inguinal tissue from DIO mice (n = 3)	4606	1	4605	2603
Inguinal tissue from ob/ob mice (n = 4)	146	15	131	57
