  1. Proportions of macrophages isolated from subcutaneous (SCAT, n = 44), visceral (VAT, n = 52) and perivascular (PVAT, n = 52) adipose tissues, n.s. non-significant
  2. Results are expressed as the mean of the proportion ±SD and by significance according to the Student’s paired parametric t test
