AID in stimulated splenic B cells is negatively correlated with the size of epididymal VAT. B cells were isolated by magnetic sorting from the spleens of 8 pairs of young (open symbols) and old (filled symbols) mice. B cells (106/ml) were stimulated with 1 μg/ml of LPS for 7 days, then mRNA was extracted and qPCR performed to evaluate mRNA expression of AID and GAPDH (control). Epididymal fat pads were isolated from the same young and old mice and AID values were correlated with the size of epididymal fat pads. Pearson's r and p values are at the bottom of the figure.
