Adipose protein expression
| Mean (SD) | CON | CWS | CWL | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N = 20–23 | N = 23–26 | N = 13–14 | ||
| UCP‐1 (% pos stain) | 5.75 (3.74) | 5.96 (4.58) | 9.20 (8.31) | 0.14 |
| MCP‐1 (pg/mg) a | 454.6 (858.6) | 705.7 (1495.9) | 1457.7 (3180.2) | 0.23 |
| IL‐6 (pg/mg) a | 101.9 (241.8) | 185.8 (478.7) | 396.4 (1125.5) | 0.51 |
| IL‐1β (pg/mg) | 4.86 (7.26) | 6.00 (7.40) | 9.23 (9.14) | 0.29 |
CON, non‐cancer control patients; CWS, weight‐stable cancer patients; CWL, cancer patients with weight loss; UCP, uncoupling protein; pos, positive; MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; IL, interleukin. P values were derived from one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's post‐hoc pairwise.

Raw data are displayed here; however, P values are from comparison of log‐transformed data.
