  1. APL, Acquired partial lipodystrophy. Values of mRNA expression in adipose tissue from healthy controls are shown as means (95% confidence interval in parentheses), expressed as the ratio of relative abundance of the mRNA of the gene of interest relative to 18S rRNA. Reduced mRNA expression values in APL below confidence intervals are shown as ↓.
