(a) Western blotting analysis of serum PRSS8. A representative western blot image is shown (n=4 mice per group). (b) Correlation between serum PRSS8 levels and BMI. (c) Correlation between serum PRSS8 levels and HOMA-IR. (d) Comparison of the serum PRSS8 level in healthy human subjects with a HOMA-IR <1.6 (n=111) and a HOMA-IR ≥1.6 (n=42). Statistical comparisons were made with the Mann–Whitney U-test. Values are shown as the mean±s.d.
