The effect of pregnancy on adipose tissue weight, adipocyte hypertrophy, and macrophage infiltration. (A) Weight of subcutaneous and parametrial adipose tissue of the NP group (n=32) and the P group (n=26). (B) Adipocyte size of subcutaneous and parametrial adipose tissue was measured using WinRoof 5.7 (n=6 per group). (C) The infiltration of macrophages into SAT was revealed by immunohistochemical study using anti-CD68 antibody (n=6 per group). (D) Quantitative analysis of the degree of macrophages infiltrated into SAT (n=6 per group). (E) Immunohistochemical localization of CD68-positive macrophages in PAT (n=6 per group). (F) Quantitative analysis of the degree of macrophages infiltrated into PAT (n=6 per group). Data are presented as the mean±s.e.m. The two-tail Student's t-test was performed. P versus NP: *P<0·05, **P<0·01, ***P<0·001.
