Abbreviation: N.s., non-significant.

Macrophages isolated from SCAT and VAT, their proportions and comparison in subgroups. Results are expressed as a mean of the proportion±s.d. The significance was determined using paired Student's t-tests. Due to technical problems, quantification of macrophages per g was performed in only 42 (out of 44 samples) in SCAT and in 49 (out of 52) in VAT.
