Association between the expression of CD68, CD14, and CD163 and HOMA-IR. Subcutaneous AT samples from lean and obese subjects (). Gene-expression levels of mRNA CD68, CD14, and CD163 measured by RT-PCR. HOMA-IR measured by fasting blood samples. Spearman’s correlation with = correlation coefficient. (a) Association between mRNA CD68 and HOMA-IR (: 0.34, ), (b) association between mRNA CD14 and HOMA-IR (: 0.37, ), and (c) association between mRNA CD163 and HOMA-IR (: 0.47, ).
