Expression of immune cell‐related genes in AT and aorta of LETO and OLETF rats chronically treated without and with L‐NAME. Values are fold difference in mRNA and expressed as means ± SE. PVAT in the LETO control group of rats is used as the reference tissue and set at 1 for all AT comparisons. For aorta comparisons, the LETO control is used as the reference group and set at 1. *Difference (P < 0.05) from LETO rats; #Difference (P < 0.05) from control rats; aDifference (P < 0.05) between PVAT and RPAT; bDifference (P < 0.05) between PVAT and BAT; cDifference (P < 0.05) between RPAT and BAT. G, group; C, condition; D, fat depot.
