Figure 6. Adiponectin inhibits perivascular (abdominal) and visceral adipose inflammatory cell infiltration, renin-angiotensin system component and inflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression.

Figure 6

Gene expression analysis of adiponectin (APN), angiotensin type 1a receptor (AT1aR), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), macrophage marker (CD68), T-cell marker (CD4), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) in perivascular adipose tissue (surrounding abdominal aorta) of AngII-infused mice 8 weeks after injection of AdGFP or AdAPN (n = 8/group). RNA samples from abdominal perivascular adipose tissue aorta were analyzed by QRT-PCR and normalized to GAPDH. *p < 0.05 vs AdGFP, Student’s t-test.
