CD69 expression on subcutaneous adipose tissue CD4⁺ T cells increases with progressive glucose intolerance. (A–E) Frequencies of CD4⁺ total T cells, T_Nai, T_CM, T_EM, and T_EMRA cells expressing the CD69 activation and putative tissue-residence marker in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and blood (PBMC). The box and whiskers plot indicate mean ± SD. Wilcoxon matched-pair rank test was used to calculate differences between PBMC and SAT. Mann-Whitney test used to calculate differences between groups; blue lines and red ^* depict differences between groups ^**p < 0.01, ^*p < 0.05.
