Figure 2. Tenth, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of methylation levels (beta values) at ER regulatory genes by categories of insulin, HOMA-IR and triglycerides after adjustments for age and sex in subjects with excessive weight.

Figure 3. Epigenetic regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in obesity and associated metabolic diseases. Obesity induces a chronic activation of the unfolded protein response and consequently ER stress. Differentially methylated ER regulatory genes play a pivotal role in obesity-induced ER stress, leading to the development of metabolic disturbances. Hypomethylated (red color); hypermethyated (blue color).
