CD36 and Obesity: However, no apparent differences were observed when comparing normalized SAT and VAT mean FI values for Kir2.1 (p = 0.8857 using a Mann Whitney test; Figure 3(F)) or CD36 (p > 0.9999 using a Mann Whitney test; Figure 3(H)), which further supports that VAT does not specifically induce differences in the expression of Kir2.1 or CD36 in obesity.
