From: Leptin deficiency-induced obesity affects the density of mast cells in abdominal fat depots and lymph nodes in mice

Figure 2

Mast cells in abdominal fat depots. The density of mast cells in epididymal, mesenteric, perinephric, and inguinal (subcutaneous) fat depots from control (+/?, n = 10, white bars) and ob/ob mice (n = 10, black bars) are shown (A-J). Leptin deficiency-induced obesity was accompanied by a divergent change in the density of mast cells in inguinal and epididymal adipose tissues (K-O). Photomicrograhs demonstrate mast cells (arrows) stained for chloroacetate esterase. CD117/c-kit protein expression in epididymal and inguinal fat depots from ob/ob and control mice are also shown (P, Q). Scale bars are 50 μm. ***P < 0.001.
