Expression of pollutant target genes in adipose tissue of lean and obese subjects. High-quality RNA was available for seven lean and nine obese subjects. The relative expression was obtained by RTqPCR using the comparative Ct method by reporting Ct of target gene of each subject to mean Ct of lean subjects and by using RPL13A (60S ribosomal protein L13a) as reference gene. (A) AhR, phase I xenobiotic metabolizing CYP genes and other targets of the xenobiotic receptors. (B) Targets of the xenobiotic receptors involved in obesity-associated low-grade inflammation. For each gene, data for obese and lean subjects were statistically compared by Wilcoxon rank sum test.
