  • RASF (n=1) were treated with adiponectin isoforms or left untreated (control). Affymetrix microarray analysis (GeneChip HG U133A) was performed as described. The results indicate that genes from several functional groups are differentially regulated in RASF by adiponectin isoforms. The cut-off value for fold changes was ≤2 (repression) or ≥2 (induction), respectively. Strongly repressed genes were low in number and of no known or well-defined function.
