Expression of CTRP5 in lean and obese humans. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of CTRP5 in omental (A and C) or subcutaneous (B and D) adipose tissue of human abdominal surgery subjects. Expression of CTRP5 in the subcutaneous fat depot is positively correlated with body mass index (BMI; B). Expression levels of CTRP5 are higher in obese individuals with or without type 2 diabetes relative to lean individuals (n = 7–8; D). Expression levels were normalized to β-actin levels in each sample. **P < 0.01.
