Adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with reduced lipogenesis and low adipose tissue PAHSA levels. (A) Relative quantification of GLUT4 mRNA measured in adipose tissue in relation to the lipogenic transcription factor ChREBP and its target genes ACACA and FASN. (B) Correlations of relative protein expression of GLUT4 determined by WB in isolated adipocytes in relation to different adipose tissue PAHSA isomers. Filled circles: subjects assigned to the IS group; filled squares: subjects assigned to the IR group. (C) Relative mRNA expression of the lipogenic enzymes ACACA and FASN in adipose tissue in relation to serum levels 9-PAHSA. (D) Relative mRNA expression of the lipogenic enzymes ACACA and FASN in adipose tissue in relation to serum levels of total-PAHSA (E) Correlations of adipocyte cell size and different adipose tissue PAHSA isomers. Filled circles: subjects assigned to the IS group; filled squares: subjects assigned to the IR group. (F) Correlation of GLUT4 protein expression and adipocyte cell size.
