Adipose tissue (AT) was reported to influence reproductive functions through regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, and infertility in captive African elephants has been correlated to obesity. Next generation sequencing was utilised to generate transcriptomes of peri-renal AT from cu...
