From: Adiponectin, chemerin, cytokines, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 are released from human adipose tissue in a depot-dependent manner: an in vitro system including human serum albumin

Release of adiponectin, IL-6, chemerin, and DPP4 from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Concentrations of adiponectin, IL-6, chemerin and DPP4 in media from paired biopsies of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue incubated in medium containing 1% HSA according to our final protocol were determined by ELISA. Adiponectin was more abundantly released from subcutaneous than visceral adipose tissue (p < 0.01, n = 7) (A). IL-6 release from the depots was similar (p = 0.315, n = 11) (B), while chemerin (C) and DPP4 (D) were more abundantly released from visceral adipose tissue (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively, n = 11).
