Obesity Is a Positive Modulator of IL-6R and IL-6 Expression in the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue: Significance for Metabolic Inflammation
Fig 5
Enhanced expression of monocytes/ macrophage markers in the obese adipose tissue.
The protein expression (intensity) of monocyte/ macrophage markers was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the adipose tissue samples from lean, overweigh, and obese individuals, 10 each. As shown by representative IHC photomicrographs (100× magnification), expression of (A) CD11b, (B) CD163, and (C) CD68 was found to be markedly elevated in overweight and obese adipose tissue samples as compared with lean samples.
