Expansion of the Inguinal Adipose Tissue Depot Correlates With Systemic Insulin Resistance in C57BL/6J Mice
To accommodate surplus energy, the adipose tissue expands by increasing adipocyte size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia).The presence of hypertrophic adipocytes is a key characteristic of adipose tissue dysfunction.High-fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J mice are a commonly used model to study obesity and obesity-related complications.In the present
