The mRNA expression of 11β-HSD1 and GCR in the study groups. A: The mRNA expression of 11β-HSD1 and GCR in 31 obese patients with CAD (obese CAD group) and 16 obese patients without CAD (control group) in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), mediastinal adipose tissue (MAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 (Obese CAD group vs.control group). Data are mean ± SD. B: The mRNA expression of 11β-HSD1 and GCR in 16 females and 15 males obese patients with CAD in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), mediastinal adipose tissue (MAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). * p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 (women vs.men). Data are mean ± SD, C: The mRNA expression of CD68 in 31 obese patients with CAD (obese CAD group) and 16 obese patients without CAD (control group) in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), mediastinal adipose tissue (MAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). **p < 0.01 (Obese CAD group vs.control group).
