Association of Immune and Metabolic Receptors C5aR and C5L2 with Adiposity in Women
Figure 2
C5aR expression in both subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues is downregulated in obesity. Subcutaneous (a) and omental (b) C5aR mRNA expression for normal/overweight (open bar), obese group I (dotted bar), obese group II (striped bar), and obese group III (checkered bars), (c) plasma C5a for normal/overweight (open bar), obese group I (dotted bar), obese group II (striped bar), and obese group III (checkered bars), and (d) subcutaneous/omental C5aR expression for normal/overweight (open bar), obese group I (dotted bar), obese group II (striped bar), and obese group III (checkered bars). Results are expressed as means SEM; 33–36 per group. Statistical differences were determined by Student’s -test and one-way ANOVA, for normal/overweight versus obese groups, where *.
