Gene expression levels of CD68 (A), CD11B (B), MCP1 (C) and NOX2 (D) in VAT of LN, obese NG and obese T2D volunteers. Bars represent the mean ± SEM of the ratio between the gene expression to 18SrRNA. The expression level in LN subjects was assumed to be 1 (LN: n = 9; NG: n = 10; T2D: n = 10). Differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey tests. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, versus LN, and ^†P < 0.05 versus NG.
