Figure Lengend Snippet: Gene and protein expression levels of IL-33 in visceral adipose tissue (VAT). A Bar graphs show the gene expression levels of IL33 in VAT samples from volunteers with normal weight (NW-NG, n = 8) and people with obesity and normoglycemia (OB-NG, n = 13) and with obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (OB-T2D, n = 16). B Protein expression levels of IL-33 in VAT from volunteers with normal weight (NW-NG, n = 4) and people with obesity and normoglycemia (OB-NG, n = 13) and with obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (OB-T2D, n = 10). C Scatter plots show the correlations between mRNA expression and protein levels of IL-33 as well as their associations with body fat percentage (BF). Correlation coefficients (r) and corresponding P values were calculated using Pearson’s correlation test. D Representative immunostaining for IL-33 in VAT samples from people with OB-NG and with OB-T2D (magnification 200x). E Comparison of gene expression levels of IL33 with IL1A , IL1B , IL4 , IL6 , IL8 , IL10 , IL13 , IL18 and IL32 in VAT obtained from people with obesity. Values are the mean ± SEM. Differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s tests or by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test as appropriate. * P < 0.05, and ** P < 0.01
