Out of the ˜17'000 gene targets present on the cDNA microarray used , 34 genes fulfilled these criteria, which are listed in Table 1.
10 of these genes--Cav1, Fgf1, Fndc3b, Kif5b, Mest, Npr3, Pik3ca, Sparc, Vldlr, and Wwtr1--were previously known to be important regulators of adipose tissue development and function.
