CD14 and morbid obesity: Within the monocyte compartment the HLA-DR-, CD14+ cells (Figure 1H), referred to as immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (15, 33), and the classical monocytes (CM) (Figure 1L) were significantly increased in patients with morbid obesity, whereas no difference was observed for intermediate monocytes (IM) (Figure 1K) and non-classical monocytes (NCM) (Figure 1J).
