AT phenotype and serum levels of adipokines and NEFAs in WT and Lgals3−/− mice aged 2 months. Weight of VAT and SAT (a); representative haematoxylin–eosin images of VAT (b) and SAT (c) (original magnification, 250X), quantification of size of adipocytes from VAT (b) and SAT (c), and number, density and size distribution of adipocytes from VAT (b) from WT and Lgals3−/− mice; and serum levels of leptin, adiponectin and NEFAs in WT and Lgals3−/− mice (d). Values represent the mean ± SD (n = 6 mice per genotype). White bars = WT mice; black bars = Lgals3−/− mice; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 or ***P < 0.001 versus WT.
