Correlation between adipose gene expression and clinical or adipose tissue parameters.

Phenotype	PPARG		SCAMP3
	partial r-value	p-value	partial r-value	p-value
Body mass index, kg/m	−0.82	<0.0001	0.76	<0.00001
Body fat, % of total body weight	−0.72	<0.0001	0.73	<0.0001
Waist circumference, cm	−0.78	<0.0001	0.78	<0.0001
Waist-to-hip, ratio cm/cm	−0.58	0.0003	0.62	0.0001
Homeostasis model assessment of in vivo insulin sensitivity, arbitrary units*	−0.56	0.0003	0.62	0.0001
Fat cell volume, picolitres	−0.83	<0.0001	0.73	<0.0001
Insulin stimulated lipogenesis in fat cells, nmoles of glucose/2 hours/107 fat cells*	0.43	0.017	−0.56	0.002
Adipose tissue secretion of interleukin-6, ng/2 hours/107 fat cells*	−0.62	0.001	0.58	0.002
Adipose tissue secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha, ng/2 hours/107 fat cells*	−0.57	0.002	0.75	<0.0001
Adipose tissue lipolytic activity, µmoles of glycerol/2 hours/107 fat cells*#	−0.66	0.007	0.42	0.025

Multiple regression was used. A negative r-value indicates inverse relationship between regressor and phenotype.

*Values were (10) log transformed prior to use. ^#This is release of glycerol (an end products of triglyceride hydrolysis) into the medium of adipose tissue incubated pieces.
