FIGURE 5.
PVATs and non-PVAT fats have similar numbers of CD25 expressing B cells. Immunophenotyping of mesenteric resistance (MR)PVAT, thoracic aortic (A)PVAT, retroperitoneal (RP) fat, subscapular (SS) fat, and spleen, in healthy male and female SD rats. B220CD25 cells were quantified by flow cytometry and is presented as absolute cell counts normalized to tissue weight (in mg). Comparisons between (A) MRPVAT and APVAT along with spleen (B) MRPVAT and non-PVAT white RP fat (C) APVAT and non-PVAT brown SS fat. Bars represent means ± SEM for the number of animals indicated by N.
