Subcutaneous adipose tissue analyses. The adipocyte-size distribution of fixed, intact subcutaneous adipose tissue was measured using a coulter counter, ~ 6000 counts/sample, and each sample was run in duplicate. a The graph displays the average distribution curves from n = 15 Iraqi and n = 8 Swedish subjects. b The fraction of small cells is defined to the left of the nadir (arrow), and the fraction of large cells is defined to the right of the nadir. c mRNA expression of COL1A1, LPL, SLC2A4, and CIDEA, measured by qPCR, n = 11–13 Iraqi and n = 8–11 Swedish subjects. Data are normalized to 18S expression
