Adipose tissue redistribution after chronic glucocorticoid treatment. (a) adipose mass of mesenteric—meWAT, perirenal—prWAT, retroperitoneal—rpWAT, epididymal—epWAT, and subcutaneous inguinal—scWAT; (b) interscapular brown adipose tissue—BAT mass and histological sections; (c) WAT mass; (d) WAT + BAT mass; frequency distribution of adipocyte volume (pL) and histological sections of (e) meWAT, (f) prWAT, (g) rpWAT, (h) epWAT, and (i) scWAT of control (CT), and glucocorticoid-treated (GC) rats. HE staining; 100× magnification. Data are mean ± SEM of 13 (CT) and 17 (GC) rats/samples. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, and **** p < 0.0001 vs. CT (unpaired Student t-test).
