Expression of NPC1 mRNA in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue of obese vs. non-obese individuals and before/after weight loss. Expression of NPC1 mRNA in (A) intact scWAT of obese (62 female and 22 male) and non-obese (47 female and 11 male) adults, (B) in intact omWAT of obese females (n=22) and non-obese females (n=13), (C) in adult females (n=10) and males (n=3) before and 2–4 years after intense anti-obesity treatment. Values are presented as range (mean ±SD), *P<0.05.
