Figure 2. Higher levels of fibrosis in obese versus lean subjects in both subcutaneous and visceral AT.

Figure 2

Morbidly obese subjects with more fibrosis in their subcutaneous adipose tissue lose less fat mass at 3, 6 and 12 months post bypass, suggesting that fibrosis could be used as a good and independent predictor of weight loss after surgical interventions. Arrows indicate pericellular fibrosis. Data are represented as mean +/− SEM.
