Expression of Genes Related to Prostaglandin Synthesis or Signaling in Human Subcutaneous and Omental Adipose Tissue: Depot Differences and Modulation by Adipogenesis

Figure 2

Omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue mRNA expression of several transcripts coding for PG receptors or enzymes involved in PG synthesis in women (). Expression levels relative to ATP5O mRNA abundance are shown. PLA2G4 (phospholipase A2), PLA2G16 (phospholipase A2), PTGS1 (cyclooxygenase 1), PTGS2 (cyclooxygenase 2), AKR1B1 (PGF synthase), PTGFR (prostaglandin FP receptor), PTGIS (PGI synthase), PTGDS (PGD synthase), PTGES, PTGES2, and PTGES3 (PGE synthase), and PTGER1, PTGER2, PTGER3, and PTGER4 (prostaglandin E receptors). Mean ± SEM are shown. AU: arbitrary units .
