Novel Role of Endogenous Catalase in Macrophage Polarization in Adipose Tissue

Figure 3

Catalase deficiency suppresses M2 macrophages in the stromal vascular fraction of epididymal WAT. (a) CD206 (1 : 20, brown) was assessed by immunohistochemistry to measure M2 activation, using hematoxylin as counterstain (blue). Images were analyzed in Image Pro. Scale bar, 50 μm; magnification, 200x. (b) CD206, (c) arginase-1, and (d) IL-10 mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR. Data are mean ± SE of 6–8 mice. .
