(A) Expression of inflammatory mediators in epididymal adipose tissues of HFD-fed C57BL/6J mice (n = 7–8 per group).
(B and C) IL-4 and IL-13 expression in epididymal adipose tissues of normal chow (NC) and high-fat (HF) diet-fed C57BL/6J mice (n = 7–8 per group).
(D) IL-13 level in plasma of HFD-fed C57BL/6J mice (n = 8–10 per group).
(E) Expression of inflammatory cytokines in omental adipose tissues of lean and obese humans.
(F) IL-13 expression in omental adipose tissue of lean and obese humans (lean: BMI = 24.9 ± 1.3, n = 5; obese: BMI = 45.4 ± 2.1, n = 11).
(G and H) IL-13 and IL-4 expression in SVF and ACF of NCD- and HFD-fed mice (n = 4–6 per group).
All data are the mean ± SEM, *p < 0.005 compared with NC, **p < 0.035 compared with lean.
