Effects of PD153035 on adipocyte morphology and activation and migration of macrophages in adipocyte tissue. A: Histological sections of retroperitoneal fat pads from control, HFD, and HFDPD after 1 or 14 days, 50-μm scale bar for all pictures. B: Quantification of adipocyte size. About 100 cells were measured in each group, and the average adipocyte was calculated. C: Representative immunohistochemical staining of WAT using the specific macrophage marker F4/80+. D: F4/80-positive cells (+cells/total cells) of all above groups. Data are presented as means ± SE from six mice per group, *P < 0.05 vs. control group and #P < 0.05 vs. HFD. E: Bar graph indicates the number of THP1 cells that migrate from the top to the bottom level of the Boyden blindwell chamber stimulated or not with chemotatic agent RANTES. *P < 0.05 vs. DMSO alone; #P < 0.05 vs. DMSO/RANTES. Values represent the average of five different assays. (A high-quality color digital representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
