  1. Means (SE) tested with ANOVA.
  2. Values with different superscripts across a row are significantly different (p < 0.05).
  3. * Adiponectin:leptin ratio was determined from levels expressed in ng/mL.
  4. † Interleukin-10:Tumor necrosis factor-α ratio determined from levels expressed in pg/mL. White adipose tissue, 0.2 g, homogenized in 0.6 mL radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer with protease inhibitor, centrifuged, and infranatant assayed.
