Figure 4. Adipose tissue gene expression.

Figure 4

Expression of cyclooxygenases and synthases important in prostanoid production were upregulated in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT, n=17). COX1= Cyclooxygenase 1, COX2 = Cyclooxygenase 2, PGES = Prostaglandin E synthase, PGDS = Prostaglandin D synthase, PGIS = Prostaglandin I synthase, IP = Prostaglandin I receptor, TBXAS = Thromboxane synthase, TP = Thromboxane prostanoid receptor. ***p<0.001, **p<0.01 and *p<0.05
