KC depletion by GdCl3 in liver and adipose tissue. Male Wistar rats were depleted of KCs by administration of GdCl3 as described in research design and methods. Subsequently, liver and adipose tissue were isolated and the presence of macrophages was determined by qRT-PCR assessment of CD68/ED1 and F4/80 mRNA levels (A and B) and counting of CD68/ED1-positive cells after immunohistochemical staining of liver and adipose tissue sections (C–F) as described in research design and methods. Statistical significance is indicated. n = a minimum of six in each group for qRT-PCR and n = 3 for immunohistochemical analysis of CD68/ED1-positive cells.
