The intensity of the PTEN nuclear staining was scored in steatotic (S) and non-steatotic (NS) areas of biopsies. All slides from healthy (Controls) and obese patients were scored on a staining intensity scale from 0 to 4 with score = 4 representing the highest intensity. Difference between NS and S area (NS-S) was calculated. ND: Not determined; PTEN: Phosphatase and tensin homolog.
