FIG. 5.
Adipose tissue p-eIF2α and p-JNK levels after GBP surgery. Protein expression levels of p-eIF2α and p-JNK in adipose tissue from patients before and after GBP were detected by Western blot assay, followed by densitometric analysis. A: Pre- and post-GBP levels of p-eIF2α and p-JNK normalized to calnexin. B: Average levels of p-eIF2α and p-JNK in pre- and post-GBP groups. C: Immunoblot analyses of p-eIF2α and p-JNK expression levels in patients 67, 68, and 71 before and after GBP. Data indicate means ± SE. *P < 0.05.
