Data suggest that dietary fatty acids create epigenetic/nutrigenomic changes in methylation levels of CpG island at Vegfb promoter and changes in Vegfb expression in white adipocytes in vivo and in vitro, with particular up-regulation of DNA methylation by linoleic acid; Vegfb promoter methylation levels are closely related to Vegfb gene expression in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
