Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To determine metabolic pathways important for inflammatory function of CD14+<br /><br>cells from blood, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue by gene expression<br /><br>analysis (human microarray platform by affymetrix) using a bioinformatics<br /><br>approach.<br /><br><br /><br>To determine the intracellular metabolism of CD14+ cells from blood and adipose<br /><br>tissue by measurements of metabolites in cell lysates or supernatants of the<br /><br>(cultured) immune cells and by analysis of intracellular metabolic signalling<br /><br>pathways on protein and gene expression level.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To determine the differences in inflammatory potential of CD14+ cells isolated<br /><br>from lean, obese and diabetic subjects by histological assessment of adipocyte<br /><br>size, macrophage infiltration and formation of crown-like structures in the<br /><br>different adipose tissue depots and by measurements of plasma cytokines and<br /><br>cytokines released upon stimulation of cultured cells isolated from the blood. </p><br>
