Endocannabinoid degradation enzymes in metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The effects of fasting serum glucose concentration (A,D), HbA1c (B,E) and insulin concentration (C,F) on FAAH and MGL activities in subcutaneous adipocytes from obese humans. Data are presented as scatterplots, with error bars representing S.D., and were analysed using Student’s t test or linear regression. FAAH (G) and MGL (H) activities in subcutaneous adipocytes from obese humans assigned to one of three groups based on the following criteria: healthy <2 components of metabolic syndrome (n = 6, triangles); metabolic syndrome ≥3 components of metabolic syndrome (n = 11, squares); diagnosed type 2 diabetes with or without metabolic syndrome (n = 10, circles). Data are presented as scatterplots, with error bars representing S.D., and were analysed using one way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test.
