adipose tissue
• trend towards increased intra-abdominal adiposity at 4 months of age
|
• perigonadal adipocyte hypertrophy at 4 months of age
|
• perigonadal adipocyte hypertrophy at 4 months of age
• an increase in macrophage accumulation is seen in the perigonadal fat indicating inflammation
|
• percent body fat is increased in females at 4 months of age, however absolute body weight is not increased at this time
|
• an increase in macrophage accumulation is seen in the perigonadal fat, and macrophage marker analysis and cytokine expression indicates low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
