Comparison of the 4 study groups (n = 10 subjects per group) of the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) in response to saturated fat ingestion for serum heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70; A) and mononuclear cell (MNC)-derived toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) mRNA content (B) and protein content (C) as well as MNC-derived activated activator protein-1 (AP-1; D) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) protein content (E). Data are presented as means ± SE. Comparison across groups (one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference test). *The iAUC in lean control subjects was significantly different compared with the other 3 groups; P < 0.002 (A) and P < 0.0001 (B and C). †The iAUC in control subjects with obesity was significantly different compared with women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity; P < 0.03 (A), P < 0.007 (B), P < 0.0008 (C), P < 0.008 (D), and P < 0.004 (E). ‡The iAUC in lean women with PCOS was significantly different compared with women with PCOS and obesity; P <0.03 (C) and P < 0.04 (D).
