Fig. 4: Adiponectin upregulates APOM gene expression in adipocytes and hepatocytes.

APOM mRNA level upon 48 h of globular adiponectin treatment in hMADS adipocytes (panel A) and in HepG2 hepatocytes (panel B). Results are expressed as percentage of control and are presented as mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments or 1 experiment, respectively. Data were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis’ test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
