Figure 1From: Smoking and adipose tissue inflammation suppress leptin expression in Japanese obese males: potential mechanism of resistance to weight loss among Japanese obese smokersICAM-1 gene expression in adipocytes co-cultured with macrophages with (black bar) or without (white bar) LPS stimulation. ICAM-1 gene expression was evaluated by real-time PCR, and the data are expressed as fold change of the levels at 0 h. *p < 0.05.Back to article page
