Enzymes involved in prostaglandin PPARγ agonist production in lean and overweight/obese prolonged critically ill patients. Relative mRNA expression of PLA2G2A in subcutaneous (a) and visceral (b) adipose tissue. Relative mRNA expression of COX1 in subcutaneous (c) and visceral (d) adipose tissue. Relative mRNA expression of HPGDS in subcutaneous (e) and visceral (f) adipose tissue. Relative mRNA expression of LPGDS in subcutaneous (g) and visceral (h) adipose tissue. Gene expression data are expressed normalized to RNA18S5 or GAPDH and as a fold change of the mean of the healthy controls. Light gray bar median and interquartile ranges of healthy controls (n = 20), white lean prolonged critically ill patients (BMI ≤25 kg/m2; n = 24), dark gray overweight/obese prolonged critically ill patients (BMI >25 kg/m2; n = 24) [*p ≤ 0.05 compared to healthy controls]
