Fig. 3

No significant correlation between body mass index (BMI) and 11β-HSD1. a Scatter plot of BMI versus the expression level of 11β-HSD1 mRNA. b Scatter plot of BMI versus the ratio of 11β-HSD1 versus 11β-HSD2 mRNA. c Comparison of the level of 11β-HSD1 mRNA between obese (BMI ≥ 25) and non-obese (BMI < 25) participants. Box and whisker plots of the level of 11β-HSD1 mRNA are shown. Outliers are omitted. d Comparison of the ratio of 11β-HSD1 versus 11β-HSD2 mRNA between obese (BMI ≥ 25) and non-obese (BMI < 25) participants. Box and whisker plots of the ratio of 11β-HSD1 versus 11β-HSD2 mRNA are shown. Outliers are omitted
