Gene expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a lipocalin-2 (LCN2), b YKL-40 (CHI3L1), c chemerin (RARRES2) and d OPN (SPP1) of lean (LN), obese normoglycemic (OB-NG) and obese diabetic (OB-T2D) volunteers. The mRNA bars represent the mean ± SEM of the ratio between the gene expression and 18S rRNA. The expression level in the LN subjects was assumed to be 1 (LN, n = 20; OB-NG, n = 24; OB-T2D, n = 25). Differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s tests. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 versus LN
