Table 3 Correlations between ZIP14 gene expression, PPARγ gene expression, and metabolic markers

From: Gene expression of the zinc transporter ZIP14 (SLC39a14) is affected by weight loss and metabolic status and associates with PPARγ in human adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes

  1. Correlations between ZIP14 and PPARγ gene expression levels, anthropometric data, lipid profiles, and glucose homeostasis from obese individuals before weight loss and from non-obese controls (n = 27). Pearson’s r-values and p-values are shown. BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HOMA, homeostasis model assessment; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor
