Adipocyte area of the omentum decreases during the time course of ovarian cancer growth. A: A representative H&E-stained section of an omentum from a naïve B6 mouse. Milky spots are seen within adipose at the tissue periphery. Images are representative of omental tissues harvested from B6 mice at 1, 3, 6, and 9 weeks after injection. B: Quantitation of adipocyte area from H&E images; the percent adipocyte area was normalized to the whole omental area. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 5 independent animals per time point). A linear regression of the data points indicates a slope significantly deviant from zero (P < 0.0001; R² = 0.8145) Original magnification: ×50.
