Adipose SRA1 protein expression in adipose tissue. SRA1 protein expression was determined in adipose tissue samples from non-diabetic individuals with NW and obesity, as well as from persons with type-2 diabetic (T2D), as NW and those with obesity, 10 each, using by immunohistochemistry (IHC) as described in Materials and Methods. IHC staining intensity was expressed as arbitrary units (AU) and the data (mean ± SEM) were compared between NW and obese populations, with or without T2D, using unpaired t-test and p < 0.05 was considered significant. (A) The representative IHC images are shown for non-diabetic NW/obese and T2D NW/obese individuals, one each. (B) IHC staining data (AU) show the elevated adipose SRA1 expression in persons with obesity compared to NW persons, whether with or without T2D (p < 0.0001).
