Morphometry and histological analysis of VAT in normal weight and morbidly obese subjects. (a, b) H&E staining showed that there was more inflammatory cellular infiltration in the VAT of morbidly obese patients. (c, d) Masson’s trichrome staining demonstrated increased collagen fiber deposition (blue) in VAT of morbidly obese patients. (e, f) Representative immunohistochemical staining showed that there were more CD68-positive macrophages in the VAT of morbidly obese subjects. Arrowhead: macrophage. Scale bar: 50 μm.
