Adipose A-SAA Gene Expression and Secretion Are Increased with BMI
Adipose A-SAA mRNA levels, measured by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (top) and A-SAA release by adipose tissue (middle), were significantly correlated with BMI. Furthermore, adipose A-SAA mRNA levels were increased with the adipocyte size (bottom). Dotted lines indicate 95% confidence intervals.
