Correlation between BMI and oxidative capacity. OCR values were normalized by mitochondrial protein concentration (A) and cell numbers (B), respectively. OCR values were plotted against BMI. Correlation coefficients were r = −0.50, P = .03 in the omental large cell group; r = −0.47, P = .04 in the omental small group; r = −0.57, P = .007 in the subcutaneous large cell group; r = −0.53; P = .013 in the subcutaneous small cell group for OCR per milligram mitochondrial protein (A). Correlation coefficients were r = −0.83, P = .001 in the omental large cell group; r = −0.86, P = .0011 in the omental small cell group; r = −0.72, P = .001 in the subcutaneous large cell group; r = −0.51; P = .032 in the subcutaneous small cell group for OCR per cell (B). We were unable to calculate the cell number for all individuals, including two with BMI >50; thus, the x-axis for B is different than A.
