## Gene Expression in Human White Adipose Tissue

### Description

This data set resulted from microarray experiments performed on human white adipose tissue after the separation of its two cellular components: mature adipocytes and stroma vascular fraction (SVF) cells, the non adipose component of the tissue. The purpose of this experimental model was to distinguish the two cellular fractions from a functional perspective and, in the meantime, to help establish the contribution of adipose and non adipose cells in the expression of inflammatory molecules in morbid obesity.

### Usage

    data(adipose)

### Format

Three data frames containing significant genes specifically expressed in human mature adipocytes or in stroma vascular fraction cells of human white adipose tissue and a reference list with all the genes tested for differential expression during this experiment.
