Figure 5From: Leptin deficiency-induced obesity affects the density of mast cells in abdominal fat depots and lymph nodes in miceMast cells in skeletal muscle, liver, spleen, and thymus. The density of mast cells in gastrocnemius muscle (A-C), liver (D-F), spleen (G-I), and thymus (J-L) from ob/ob (n = 10, black bars) and control (+/?, n = 10, white bars) mice is shown. Photomicrograhs demonstrate mast cells (arrows) stained for chloroacetate esterase. Scale bars are 50 μm.Back to article page
