Fig 3

mRNA levels of CS, GLUT4 and ADIPOQ were significantly lower, and the mRNA expression of RB1 was significantly elevated, in the Kager’s fat pad of AT patients (n = 30) compared to healthy CON subjects (n = 13). The expression of target gene mRNA was normalized to the expression of TBP mRNA. Normalized mRNA expression for the control subjects was set to 1. * p < 0.05 (compared to CON). CS, citrate synthase; GLUT4, glucose transporter 4; ADIPOQ, adiponectin; RB1, retinoblastoma 1; AT, Achilles tendinopathy; CON, control; TBP, TATA-binding protein.
