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

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.
