Popis: The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between the apelin gene expression and habitual physical activity among morbid obese and non-obese subjects. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues were obtained from 32 morbidly obese and 32 non-obese age- and sex-matched subjects, who underwent open abdominal surgery. Physical activity was collected using a valid and reliable International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-long form, and the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) was calculated. The mRNA expressions of apelin gene in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues were analyzed by Real-Time PCR. The mean age was 39.6 years for both groups and body mass index for morbidly obese and non-obese subjects were 45.3 and 25.7 kg/m2, respectively. Apelin gene expression was more increased in morbid obese than non-obese subjects in subcutaneous (2.82 vs. 0.70,P
