Body mass index (BMI) Correlates with Reduced Brown Adipose Tissue Genes. The expression of key brown fat genes Cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector A (CIDEA), ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3 (ELOVL3), perilipin 5 (PLIN5) and Solute Carrier Family 27 Member 2 (SLC27A2) was measured in subcutaneous (Sc) and omental (Om) adipose tissue depots via RT-PCR using L19 as a housekeeping control. Pearson correlation test was used to calculate r values; all genes had a strong negative correlation with BMI. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
