Decreased adipocyte cell size and perilipin content in WAT of rats subjected to burn plus LPS. (A) Representative images depict H&E staining of EWAT. Arrows indicate smaller adipocytes in burn, LPS and burn plus LPS as compared with sham; arrowheads indicate cell infiltration in WAT. Scale bar = 100 µm. (B) Measurement of adipocyte cell size, 1000 cells per group. Values are means ± SEM (shown in brown and red bars). *P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni posttest). (C) Immunofluorescent staining of perilipin in EWAT (magnification 400×). (D–E) Representative images of Western blot and quantitative densitometric analyses for perilipin in EWAT. Values are means ± SEM, *P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni posttest). N = 8 animals per group, N = 2 for histological observations in each group.
