Figure 3.
Oxidative metabolism of adipose tissue phagocytes in female and male rats with monosodium glutamate-induced obesity (MSG, n = 8). (a) Flow cytometry representative histograms for granulocytes in female and male rats (H2DCFDA staining), fluorescence intensity (ROS generation by cells in stromal vascular fraction) is shown; (b,c) intracellular ROS generation by granulocytes and monocytes, respectively; (d) extracellular ROS release (NBT-test) by stromal vascular fraction cells. Values in bar graphs are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 was considered significant compared with the corresponding values of the control animal group. Comparisons between sexes (ANOVA) are shown as follows: #p < 0.05.
