CAMP serum levels and mRNA expression in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were correlated with anthropometric and clinical parameters in BS patients (n=156). Significant correlations are indicated by ^* (p<0.05). The Spearman test was used. AT: Adipose tissue; BMI: Body mass index; CRP: C-reactive protein; WHR: Waist-hip ratio.
