Dead adipocytes, detected as crown-like structures, are prevalent in visceral fat depots of genetically obese mice
Open accessAbstract
Accumulation of visceral fat is a key phenomenon in the onset of obesity-associated metabolic disorders. Macrophage infiltration induces chronic mild inflammation widely considered as a causative factor for insulin resistance and eventually diabetes. We previously showed that >90% of macrophages infiltrating the adipose tissue of obese animals and humans are arranged around dead adipocytes, forming characteristic crown-like structures (CLS). In this study we quantified CLS in visceral and subcutaneous depots from two strains of genetically obese mice, db/db and ob/ob. In both strains, CLS were prevalent in visceral compared with subcutaneous fat. Adipocyte size and CLS density exhibited a positive correlation both in visceral and in subcutaneous depots; however, the finding that adipocyte size was smallest and CLS density highest in visceral fat suggests a different susceptibility of visceral and subcutaneous adipocytes to death. Visceral fat CLS density was 3.4-fold greater in db/db than in ob/ob animals, which at the age at which our experimental strain was used are more prone to glucose metabolic disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
