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

Figure 4

(a) PPARγ mRNA expression during omental () or subcutaneous () preadipocyte differentiation (0 h, 6 h, 1 d, and 8 d); (b) eight days after induction of differentiation, lipid storage was assessed using phase contrast microscopy at 20x magnification imaging of differentiated, Oil Red O-stained cells. These pictures were obtained in a representative subcutaneous culture. Expression levels relative to G6PD mRNA abundance. Mean ± SEM are shown. All variables were log-transformed to stabilize variances in statistical analyses. Reported values are based on transformed variables.
