Human Adipose Tissue Macrophages Are Enhanced but Changed to an Anti-Inflammatory Profile in Obesity
Figure 1
Difference in macrophage markers in AT between lean and obese subjects. Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue samples from lean () and obese () subjects. Gene-expression levels of different macrophage markers measured by real time PCR. (a) The general macrophage markers CD14 and CD68 in ATMs from lean and obese subjects. (b) Proinflammatory markers, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α, in ATMs from lean and obese subjects. (c) Anti-inflammatory markers CD163, CD206, and IL-10 in ATMs from lean and obese subjects. Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney rank sum test. **.
