Bone marrow derived macrophage cells were indirectly co-cultured (plate bottom) with digested fat pads (in transwell insert); WAT-BM Mo bone marrow derived macrophage cells co-cultured with paired gonadal fat pads; BAT-BM Mo bone marrow derived macrophage cells co-cultured with digested perispleen fat.

% gene transcript levels were calculated relative to bone marrow derived macrophages differentiated in vitro as described in the materials and methods.

Number represents average ± standard error of the mean of 3 or 4 independent mouse samples.
