(a) Representative messenger (m)RNA expression for adiponectin (APN), leptin, and GAPDH in the colonic mucosa of control (C) and active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). (b) Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for APN and leptin in the control adipose and colonic tissues obtained from active IBD mucosa. *P<0.05 vs. control mucosa (n=12 per group). CD, Crohn's disease; GADPH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; UC, ulcerative colitis.
