Changes in key markers of intermuscular adipose tissue content. Perilipin (A), adiponectin (B), and FABP4 (C) protein levels from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies taken before (Pre) and after (Post) chemotherapy (CT) (n = 11). For each Western blot, two representative subjects are displayed. Oil red O staining from transverse cross sections of vastus lateralis muscle biopsies pre- and post-CT and representative images of muscle transversal sections (D). Biopsy samples from two patients were of poor quality and were excluded from histological analysis (n = 9). All values are expressed as the means ± SD. *P < 0.05.
