COL6A3 is higher in obesity. Abdominal sc adipose tissue frozen tissue (A) and paraffin-embedded sections (B) labeled for capillaries (red) and COL6 (blue). Pearson correlation between COL6A3 mRNA and BMI (C) and COL6A3 mRNA and total fat mass in abdominal sc adipose tissue (D) of lean (crosses), overweight, and obese patients with low (squares), medium (stars), or high COL6A3 mRNA (filled squares).
