Figure 2. VAT TIMP1 (A); caspase 7 (B); PARP1 (C); WISP1 (D); and ANGTPL4 (E) mRNA expression in relation to the tertiles of VAT TGR5 expression. *Multiple comparisons Kruskal-Wallis test applied; Mann-Whitney test between Tertiles I and III applied. Data are shown as mean value ± standard error and expressed as arbitrary units (a.u.). TIMP-1: TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1; PARP1: poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1; WISP1: WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 1; ANGPTL4: angiopoietin-like 4.
