Figure 3

Correlation of hepatic GDF15 expression with steatosis and inflammation. (a, b) Hepatic GDF15 mRNA expressions correlated with histologically quantified steatosis (a) and IL-1β expression (b). Respective R values and level of significance are shown in each panel. Each dot represents individual patient before or after LAGB.
