Subcutaneous AT and blood samples from obese and lean subjects (). Gene-expression levels of the general macrophage markers: CD14 and CD68, the anti-inflammatory markers: CD163, CD206, and IL-10, and the proinflammatory markers: TNF-, IL-6 and MCP-1 relative to the house-keeping gene LRP10 measured by RT-PCR. Circulating levels of sCD163, IL-6, and MCP-1 measured by ELISA. Statistic tests: Spearman’s correlation test; : correlations coefficient. * ; **. |
