AdipoR1 mRNA expression in leukocytes and the serum adiponectin concentration in PH children and normotensive controls. (a) AdipoR1 gene expression levels (AdipoR1 mRNA). Results presented as means ± SD; AdipoR(+), , AdipoR(−), , controls, . (b) Serum adiponectin levels. Results presented as means ± SD; AdipoR(+), , AdipoR(−), , control, . (c) Correlations between the percentage of neutrophils showing expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR1 mRNA leukocyte expression. (d) Correlations between the percentage of AdipoR1-positive neutrophils and serum adiponectin concentrations.
