MRI quantification of epididymal white adipose tissue volume in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia or normoxia. (A) Representative photographs and transverse MRI slices of epididymal fat pads (arrow) and gonads (G). (B) Epididymal fat volume after 6 weeks of intermittent hypoxia (IH) or air (N) in lipectomized and sham-operated C57BL6 mice, n = 4 per group; *p < 0.05 N-sham vs IH-sham, #p < 0.05 N-sham vs N-lipectomy and IH-sham vs IH-lipectomy.
