Effect of adiposity on tissue-specific adiponectin secretion - Fig 3

<p>A: Secretion levels of adiponectin from visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is negatively associated with BMI while there was no association with subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) (p < 0.05) B: Secretion levels of adiponectin from VAT is negatively associated with total fat mass while there was no association with SAT (p < 0.001) C: Secretion levels of adiponectin from VAT is negatively associated with visceral fat percentage while there was no association with SAT (p < 0.05).</p

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (A) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) (B) tissue homogenates (50 μg protein) were separated by 15% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes for immunoblot analyses.

<p>Adiponectin (ADPN) levels from paired SAT and VAT samples are shown for 7 different subjects. Beta-actin loading control and monomeric recombinant adiponectin (~30 kDa) are shown).</p

Secretion levels of adiponectin from both visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) at 4 hours and 24 hours were highly correlated with each other (p < 0.001).
