Age-dependent genes in adipose stem and precursor cells affect regulation of fat cell differentiation and link aging to obesity via cellular and genetic interactions

Table 1 Comparisons of SAT ASPC proportions by age in the BMI status-stratified groups indicate significant differences by age in the lower/normal BMI individuals
