Association between TNF-α and CERK expression in PBMCs from obese individuals. PBMCs were isolated from human peripheral blood samples obtained from lean (n = 13), overweight (n = 14) and obese (n = 13) individuals. CERK and TNF-α mRNA expression was detected by real-time RT-PCR and represented as fold change over controls (A,B). Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) is shown between CERK and TNF-α (C).
