ASP generation related genes tend to be increased in HAT group. (A) Expression of genes related to ASP generation in SC adipose tissue from LAT (hatched bars) and HAT (solid bars) as assessed by microarray where LAT expression is set at 100%. Correlations are shown between (B) C3 and factor B (FB), (C) FB and adipsin (Factor D), and (D) C3 and adipsin in SC adipose tissue from both LAT and HAT subjects. Data is expressed as means ± SEM where * p < 0.025, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, where R values represent Spearman coefficients, and lines are based on linear regression.
