Fig 1: Inflammatory cytoadipokines protein expression levels in adipose tissues in CAD (n = 26)and NCAD (n = 20) groups. (A) Representative bands and quantitative analyses of CTRP1, YKL-40, CTRP9 protein expression in EAT. (B) Representative bands and quantitative analyses of CTRP1, YKL-40, CTRP9 protein expression in PAT. (C) Representative bands and quantitative analyses of CTRP1, YKL-40, CTRP9 protein expression in SAT. (D) Quantitative analyses among EAT, PAT, SAT of CTRP1, YKL-40, CTRP9 protein expression in CAD group (n = 26). The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the relationship between the CAD and NCAD groups. The Kruskal–Wallis H test was used for the comparison among the three groups, and the multiple comparison between the groups was used “all pairwise”, the test level was adjusted to P = 0.0083. Source data was the average relative density of immunoblot bands of all adipose tissue samples in CAD and NCAD patients. The cropped inserts show representative immunoblot examples for CTRP1, CTRP9, YKL-40, GAPDH of 3 adipose tissue. The original immunoblots are available in Supplementary Figs. S1–S12; P values resulting from comparison of CAD group and NCAD group means of concentration values through the Wilcoxon test are written above each boxplot pair. During the test of Western blotting, the blots were cut prior to hybridization with the antibodies.
