Fig. 2: Findings with abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ESAT).

a Is ESAT mass. b Is mean fat cell volume. c Is number of fat cells in ESAT. d Is the curve-linear relationship between fat cell volume and ESAT mass. e Is ESAT morphology (delta value) calculated from the results in (d). Values are individual in (d) and box plots otherwise with outliers plotted as individual points. The three phenotypes were compared overall by ANOVA. The two overweight/obesity groups were compared by unpaired t-test. NOO never overweight/obesity, EOO Early onset overweight/obesity, LOO Late onset overweight/obesity.
