From: Expression of ceramide-metabolising enzymes in subcutaneous and intra-abdominal human adipose tissue
Gene expression in subcutaneous and intra-abdominal adipose tissue from non-obese and obese individuals. (A) Relative gene expression levels of SMPD1-3, CD68, CCL2, CCL3, TNFα, IL6 and adiponectin in subcutaneous (black bars) and intra-abdominal (white bars) adipose tissue from 23 non-obese individuals. (B) Relative gene expression levels of SMPD1-3 in subcutaneous (black bars) and intra-abdominal (white bars) adipose tissue from 8 obese patients. Expression is in arbitrary units normalized to housekeeping genes RPLP0 and TBP, and set to 1 for the subcutaneous depot. * P < 0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P < 0.001 compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue.
