We have determined glucose transport, insulin binding, and insulin-receptor kinase activity in adipose tissue from morbidly obese patients with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

Because fat depots differ in the impact of their relationship with the undesirable consequences of obesity, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of DHEA-S on adiponectin expression in both s.c. and visceral tissues in a morbidly obese population.

In this assay, we have observed that DHEA-S upregulates AT adiponectin gene expression in morbidly obese patients more than twofold (Fig. 2 ). This is the first study that demonstrates in humans the effect of DHEA-S in adiponectin gene expression in AT culture.

Conclusion: Our results indicate that obese women, even those with morbid obesity, over-express TNF in subcutaneous adipose tissue in proportion to the magnitude of the fat depot and independently of the presence ... In obese humans, overexpression of TNF in adipose tissue is proportional to the extent of the fat depot.
