| Macrophages | SCAT (n=44) | VAT (n=52) | Significance SCAT vs VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macrophage CD14+ number per g | 10 900±12 250 | 13 200±10 350 | n.s. |
| CD14+CD16+ (%) | 48.9±14.3 | 53.4±13.3 | P<0.05 |
| CD 14+CD16+CD36high (%) | 32.7±13.8 | 39.4±13.4% | P<0.02 |
| CD14+CD16−CD163+ (%) | 49.7±14.1 | 45.2±13.6 | n.s. |
Abbreviation: N.s., non-significant.
Macrophages isolated from SCAT and VAT, their proportions and comparison in subgroups. Results are expressed as a mean of the proportion±s.d. The significance was determined using paired Student's t-tests. Due to technical problems, quantification of macrophages per g was performed in only 42 (out of 44 samples) in SCAT and in 49 (out of 52) in VAT.
