FIG. 5.

CD34- and perilipin-stained section of the chamber tissue at different time points. Scale bar=30 μm. A large number of CD34+/perilipin− (arrowhead) perivascular cells could be detected surrounding blood vessels at day 30 (1 & 2), but their number decreased over time. Only a few CD34+/perilipin+ (star) adipose precursor cells were detected in the tissue, but their number increased sharply by day 45 (3 & 4), then decreased by day 60. CD34−/perilipin+ mature adipocytes (arrow) could be detected in late time point (5 & 6). Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tec
