Genetic Determinants of Fatty Acid Composition in Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipose Tissue
Our findings uncover genetic determinants of human adipose tissue fatty acid composition, highlight depot-specific regulation, and point to SCD1 as a potential metabolic regulator. These results deepen understanding of lipid metabolism and its links to cardiometabolic risk.
