Subcutaneous adipose tissue differentially expressed genes using a transcriptomic gene approach. Genes that were differentially expressed in at least two microarrays in post-RYGB vs. obese and were found in lean vs. obese are represented. Gene classification by function: lipid and aminoacid metabolism, glycerol transport, acetyl-COA and acyl-COA metabolic process, cell surface, signaling transduction, apoptosis signaling. In addition, inflammation and immune system pathways such as: anti-inflammatory response, innate immune system, inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signaling, interleukins signaling, leukocyte activation and involve in immune response, regulation of leukocyte differentiation, antigen processing cross presentation, neutrophil degranulation, phagocytic cells, and regulation of cytokine production.
