A. Representative immunofluorescent staining (LYVE-1 =  red; DAPI  =  blue) of inguinal lymph nodes (2× magnification) harvested from control (left panels) and obese (right panels) wild-type and RAG mice. B. Mean lymph node area of inguinal lymph nodes harvested from control/obese wild-type and RAG mice. C. Mean number of lymphatic vessels per unit area in inguinal lymph nodes of control/obese wild-type and RAG mice. D. Mean lymphatic vessel area in the inguinal lymph nodes of control/obese wild-type and RAG mice.
