Differential cytokine secretion of adipose stem cells isolated from patients with different conditions. Cytokine secretion in the supernatant of cells cultivated under control conditions (A, C, F) and under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimuli (B, D, F) was evaluated using a multiplex assay. The graphs show data from one representative experiment of three independent experiments. P values obtained after the analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests are indicated under each graph. Solid and dotted lines indicate the statistical results of the ANOVA post test and the t test, respectively. P values from the statistical tests: *P <0.05, **P <0.001. Ctr, control; ExOB, postbariatric surgery ex-obese; IL, interleukin; MCP-1, macrophage chemoattractive protein-1; OB, obese.
