Fig 5. TLR-3 in human adipose tissue.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples of 80 healthy individuals were obtained. TLR-3 mRNA levels were associated with (a) BMI, (b) HOMA-IR, (c) plasma CRP-levels, (d) number of crown-like structures in adipose tissue. Association of MAP3K8 mRNA expression in human subcutaneous adipose tissue with mRNA expression of (e) IL-8, (f) MCP-1, (g) FABP4 and (h) adipocytes cell size. * p<0.05. Data are shown as means ± SEM. HOMA-IR = Homeostatic Model Assessment for insulin resistance.
