Abstract
We constructed the transcriptomic network in adipose tissue in lean, moderate obesity and severe obesity groups of tree shrew for the first time. Compared to other laboratory animal models, the tree shrew is a prospective laboratory animal that has a closer genetic association with primates than with rodents. It is widely used in biomedical researches. Enrichment analyses revealed several molecular biological processes were involved in the ribosome, lysosome, and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis process. These results provided insights into new targets for the prevention and therapy of obesity and a novel research model for obesity.
