From: An anti-inflammatory phenotype in visceral adipose tissue of old lean mice, augmented by exercise
Characteristics of visceral adipose tissue in adult and old mice following exercise training interventions. We characterized the epididymal adipose depot of adult and old mice that were sedentary (S) or had performed either resistance training (RT) or endurance training (ET). (A) Representative pictures of perilipin-stained epididymal adipose of adult (top) and old (bottom) mice divided by intervention, 20x objective. (B) Average adipocyte area (µm2) measured from 200 adipocytes, based on the perilipin staining. (C) Total weight of epididymal adipose depot (mg). (B,C) Geometric mean ± SE. (B,C) Y-axis given as log2. *Significantly different from S. Scalebar: 100 µm. Adult S (AS) n = 7, Adult RT (ART) n = 7, Adult ET (AET) n = 7, Old S (OS) n = 10 Old RT (ORT) n = 6; Old ET (OET) n = 6.
