Association between PGC1α mRNA expression in EAT and coronary lesions. Dot plots represent PGC1α mRNA levels detected by real-time PCR in the group of patients regarding injured coronary arteries (1 or 2 and 3 or main trunk). Student’s t test was used to determine differences among the groups. P = 0.005.
