Relatively quantified (RQ) expression of SIRT1 (A) and NAMPT (B) in AT compartments. A SIRT1 gene expression in EAT, PAT and SAT (orange columns) in CHD patients (n = 52). A p-value < 0.001 is specified with ***, for the difference in SIRT1 expression between EAT and SAT and EAT and PAT, respectively. The difference between PAT and SAT was not statistically significant (p = 0.62). The Friedman’s test coupled to Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used. B NAMPT gene expression in EAT, PAT and SAT (blue columns) in CHD patients (n = 50). A p-value of 0.003 for the difference in NAMPT expression between EAT and SAT is specified with **, and a p-value of 0.016 is specified with * for the difference between PAT and SAT. The difference between EAT and PAT was not statistically significant (p = 0.55). The Friedman’s test coupled to Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used
