Subpopulations of adipose tissue monocytes and dendritic cells across white and brown adipose depots in mice and humans, defined by the expression of specific marker genes. Their association with obesity, wherever reported, is depicted as + (positive correlation), − (negative correlation), −− (strong negative correlation), or ‘‘no correlation.’’ Mon1/2 and Mo1/2, monocyte subpopulations; ncMos, non-canonical monocytes; cDCs, conventional dendritic cells.201
