Figure 3
The effects of exercise intervention on macrophage polarization in PVAT. (a) Representative images showing the double-positive staining of F4/80 and CD86, F4/80 and CD206. Scale bar: 50 μm. White arrows indicate the double-positive cells. Green: F4/80; red: CD86 or CD206; blue: nucleus counterstained by DAPI. (b) Representative flow plot showing the percentage of M1 and M2 macrophages. The gate in the upper panels shows the positive events of F4/80, the down panels showing the double-positive expression of F4/80 and CD86 or CD206. (c, d) Summarized data show the percentage of M1 (F4/80+CD86+) and M2 (F4/80+CD206+) cells in PVAT in the three groups. Db/db+exercise: db/db mice performed exercise. , vs. db/c; + , vs. db/db. Data are expressed as . /group.
