nominally significantP < 0.05
In agreement with an inhibitory effect of HIF3A on lipolysis, we observed an inverse correlation between HIF3A expression and SAT spontaneous lipolysis in women and borderline nominally significant (P < 0.05) association with the rs73048031 genotype, whereby the spontaneous lipolysis-decreasing allele (C) was associated with increased HIF3A gene expression levels.
