Proptosis of eyes in SKG mice is induced by increased inflammation and beige adipogenesis in the orbital fat tissue. (a) Diagram of the schedule for an innate immune stimulus by zymosan A administration starting at 8 weeks old and analyses 3 months later using SKG mice. (bd) Images and comparisons of the area of orbital fat around the optic nerve and inflammatory cells of orbital fat around the optic nerve. The blue dashed lines demarcate orbital fat. Scale bars: 200 μm. (e,f) Images and comparison of the intensity of CD4 immunostaining in periorbital fat. The red dashed boxes are magnified in lower panels. Scale bars: 50 μm. (g,h). Images and comparison of the intensity of Ucp1 immunostaining in periorbital fat. n = 3 for each group. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus WT by unpaired t-test.
