Figure 7

Correlations between serum AdipoQ gene expression in MAT and serum IL-6 levels (a), serum CRP levels (b), between VEGF-A gene expression in MAT and NF-κB gene expression in MAT (c). The gene expression levels were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR assay in MAT from 23 women with MS and the control group (10 women). The Pearson correlation coefficients (r) are shown on the figure and the P value if statistically significant with a P < 0.05.
