Increase of CLS number in both SAT and VAT of ERβ−/− mice. (A) Iba1 staining in SAT and VAT. In WT mice, there were a few CLS (red square) in both SAT and VAT (a,b). In ERβ−/− mice, the number of CLS was much higher (*P < 0.01) than that in SAT or VAT of WT mice (Ac, d and B,C). For each picture, a close-up view of a CLS has been included. (Scale bars in A, 500 μm).
