Coiled-coil domain-containing 80 (CCDC80) is an adipocyte-secreted protein that modulates glucose homeostasis in response to diet-induced obesity in mice. The objective of this study is to analyze the link between human CCDC80 and obesity. CCDC80 protein expression was assessed in paired visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue from 10 subjects (BMI range 22.

Context: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are associated with mild leukocytosis, but whether hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) play a role in metabolic deterioration is unknown.

Objective: Our objective was to analyze the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between CD34(+) HSPCs, adiposity, and metabolic syndrome features.

Design: This is a cross-sectional study on 242 participants, 155 of whom were followed and included in a longitudinal assessment.
