Validation by real-time qPCR of selected genes. Real-time qPCR analysis on adipocytes from normal weight (Nw), obese (Ob), normal weight and obese individuals affected by CRC (NwCRC and ObCRC, respectively). Selected genes involved in adipocyte metabolism or linked to tumorigenesis, were quantified and normalized to Normal weight control. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.005, and ***p ≤ 0.0005.
