  • Multiple populations of RASF (n=4) were stimulated with different adiponectin isoforms. RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed to complementary DNA and quantified by real-time PCR. Fold changes in mRNA expression (as compared to an unstimulated control), biological variability indicated by the (SEM), number of populations analysed (n), and the p values are presented.

  • Ad, adiponectin; HMW, high molecular weight; MMW, middle molecular weight; RASF, rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts.
