HSD11B1 gene and 11β-hsd1 protein expression in adipose tissue depots. A. The gene expression of HSD11B1 differed significantly between SAT and VAT with the higher gene expression in SAT whereas the protein expression was higher in VAT. Data are presented as means ± SD (*, differ from VAT, P < 0.001). B. Correlations between HSD11B1 mRNA and 11β-hsd1 protein expression. Correlations between HSD11B1 mRNA expression and 11β-hsd1 protein expression are illustrated in scatterplots. A statistically significant correlation is found only in the VAT (rho = 0.78 and P = 0.010). C. 11β-hsd1 and actin detection. Bands were detected at 34-kDa and 42-kDa when using antibodies targeting 11β-hsd1 and actin.
